Amid a slew of deep discounts appearing on the web today as a part of the shopping holiday Black Friday, Amazon has introduced one deal that’s sort of a no brainer.

Listen up, online shoppers: The best deal of Black Friday just dropped on Thursday with hardly any fanfare.
The company is also offering unlimited photo storage for a sum of $1 with one year validity, which usually has a standard price of $59.99. For now Amazon only says “for a limited time”.
The other deal that Amazon is ready to strike, requires users to pay only $1 and will allow them access to Amazon’s cloud storage for storing unlimited photos and videos.
The deal is aimed at promoting Amazon’s Cloud Drive service – an online storage site that competes with similar services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and more.
Amazon is a leader in the cloud storage space, so figuring out what to do with your files when the year is up isn’t a major concern.
Amazon is offering a years subscription to their unlimited Amazon Cloud Drive for just $5, a years subscription to the service normally costs $60.

Microsoft discovered that a handful of users were taking liberties with their uncapped OneDrives – some uploading entire 1080p movie collections. Newsweek reached out to Amazon about whether it will have a Microsoft-like backlash, and we will update the story when we hear back. The one thing to keep in mind with Amazon Cloud Drive is that after a year, that enticing $5 price jumps to $60 per year (assuming there’s not another promotion in 12 months).
