Amazon Photos
Amazon Photos is a cloud storage service and desktop application that allows users to upload, organize, and access their photo and video collections across devices. It's particularly popular among Amazon Prime members who get unlimited photo storage as a benefit. The Mac app provides automatic backup of photos from your computer, basic organization tools, and syncing across all your devices. Many users rely on it as their primary photo backup solution, especially if they're already invested in the Amazon ecosystem.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on available information, Amazon Photos appears to still be Intel-only and has not been updated with Apple Silicon support. The app seems to be minimally maintained by Amazon, with infrequent updates and user reports of stability issues on newer Macs. For a native Apple Silicon alternative, consider **Google Photos** which offers similar cloud photo storage and backup functionality with a well-maintained Mac app, or **iCloud Photos** which is built into macOS and runs natively on Apple Silicon. Both provide automatic backup, cross-device sync, and generous storage options, though you'll need to factor in different pricing structures compared to Amazon's Prime member benefits.
