Amazon Cloud Drive discontinued

I presume this affects a wide swath of programs that interface with Amazon Drive… not just Duplicati?

Surprisingly, I cannot find a public statement from Amazon regarding this. I have heard from others that they got an identical email, so I guess that “everyone” is out.

I would be wondering how to migrate to another platform using the least amount of time, data, and effort – one that ideally just moves the cloud files as-is without re-encoding them. May I suggest sending out a how-to for that to this mailing list?

I looked for an Amazon tool for moving from Cloud Drive to S3, but I could only find 3rd party ones (that will probably close as well). Maybe someone who uses Cloud Drive knows of an easy method?

@Christopher

I am wondering what cloud platforms are least likely to withdraw their API support in the future. Any ideas?

Generally, if it is really cheap and they allow arbitrary files, I would be wary (OneDrive, Google Drive, etc). If it is the core business to store files (and you pay for it) I would consider it safe (S3, Wasabi, B2, etc).
