Amazon Photos stores, searches, shares, displays, and prints photos and videos from compatible devices. It is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Auto-Save can back up a mobile camera roll, while Desktop Backup saves folders from Windows or Mac computers. Image recognition organizes photos by people, places, things, and dates, and the service supports natural-language search. Family Vault can include up to six members, each with an account at no additional cost; sharing groups can have up to 50 members each. Photos can also appear on Echo Show, Echo Spot, and Fire TV devices. The built-in editor can crop, adjust, and filter photos, while U.S. customers can use Amazon Prints for prints, photo books, and gifts. Free storage is 5 GB shared across photos and videos. The Amazon Prime Photos benefit includes unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5 GB for videos and other files. Paid options include 50 GB for $0.99 a month and 2 TB for $11.99 a month. The service is for personal, non-commercial use only.

Cryptee provides cloud storage for photos and videos alongside an encrypted editor for documents, journals, and notes. It says files are encrypted on the device with AES-256 before upload, using keys the company cannot access. Photos supports hashtags, typo-tolerant search, EXIF data, RAW files, favorites, ghost albums, and encrypted sharing links. The editor handles Markdown, Evernote imports, DOCX, PDF, and ODT files, with encrypted PDF exports, offline use, RTL languages, tables, and KaTeX math. Cryptee says its software and cryptography are open source and that signup requires no personal information. It also says it does not track or log user activity or serve advertisements, and keeps user data on its own infrastructure in Europe. The service runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android; its browser-based progressive web app can be installed and used offline. The free plan includes 100 MB. Paid storage begins at 10 GB for €3.00 per month.
