When the cloud goes down, where is your data? Here's how to balance the benefits of the cloud with the security of knowing your data is still at home on your machine.

Amazon's new Cloud Player service lets you store and access up to 5GB of music for free. Here's how it works.

Amazon's desktop app provides drag-and-drop access to its Cloud Drive service.

Instead of monkeying around with Amazon's Web-based file manager, use Gladinet Cloud Desktop to make your Cloud Drive work like a network drive.

Similar to its Kindle app, Amazon Cloud Player integrates the music content already on your iPhone directly with what you have stored on Amazon's cloud service.

Competing with Dropbox, Amazon Cloud takes measures one step further -- integrating with its online store to provide over-the-air media access, like SugarSync, Mougg and AudioBox.

Amazon Cloud Drive sounds great, if you don't mind giving Amazon the right to do pretty much anything they want with your account and files.
