The sky’s no longer the limit when it comes to Amazon’s cloud. Engadget reported on Thursday that the Seattle tech behemoth has scuttled its unlimited storage plan.
The company used to offer unlimited cloud storage for just $60 a year, but now that price tag will lock down just 1 terabyte (TB). Customers can scale up from there to a maximum storage of 30TB, or $1,800 per year if you max out on the service, Engadget said.
According to the tech-news site, the new pricing scheme lines up with competitor Apple’s iCloud pricing scheme.
Users who locked down an unlimited storage plan with Amazon will be grandfathered in for a year, Engadget said, but when that expires, users who exceed the 1TB cap will have a decision to make by navigating to Amazon’s “manage storage” page to select a new plan moving forward.
