Seems to be. I've got a trial running here.
Signed up for the unlimited storage plan (3 Month trial), lets see how it works out for me.
Is there a file size limit? Each of my file has over 4GB.
And that's why I am a little bit concerned. I mean, apparently there was a "free" plan, and it seems the kindle files (not the books that you purchase, but maybe custom pdfs and other books) are stored in this same "clouddrive" space.
I am wondering if I will be able to continue using this feature without paying.
Edit: Currently I still haven't signed up for their "unlimited" plans, and the interface says that I can't upload files until I click on these plans. But I am still able to send documents to my devices via mail, which is the feature that I use.
Can you sync folders automatically with cloud drive?
According to some articles dating back two years, you can, but I'm not seeing this option in the Windows Client (which is surprisingly stupid by the looks of it).
If I'm missing something here, please let me know because I'd like to know :-)
Yahoo offer 1Tb of free storage with email. Did someone tried?

@Chuck last I heard the API file size limit is 2TB. Someone tried.
@mpkossen this a new thing from Amazon, they killed the old attempt, but kept the name (the unlimited plan came out last November). File sync is supported by the API, we just need to wait for Amazon, or some developer to implement more of the API.
I really hate this mobile editor...
Hi! Anyone can share their experience with Amazon Cloud Drive Unlimited? It's been over a month and certainly someone has something to share
I signed up for the 3 months trial (quite generous), but since third party applications are still fare from being stable I didn't have a good look at it.
I use the web app and the desktop app. They do what they're supposed to but they suck if your internet connection isn't good (mine has an upload of 100KB/s and drops every 12 hours or so). No retry of failed files, just "whoops", so it needs manual intervention. The desktop app asks for your creds every hour if you're uploading a big file (token expires) to continue. The silly thing is that it stores the creds anyway, but doesn't auto-relogin.

Sounds perfect to not use. At least for now.
Did anyone try out 3rd party apps and had success?
Haven't found any that looked current & nice. Do you have any specific in mind?
Nah... Hearing all those unsuccessful stories I couldn't muster enough courage to get myself an account there.
I'm looking for an excuse to do so ^^
How about acd_fuse?
It is under development again.
My home machine is windows and I'm not feeling that adventurous, so ...
I see your point, I was intending to use it on my server
I use Windows at home as well. Mint just sits still on my dual boot menu and that's it.
Gosh... Both Hubic and Amazon have this cheap huge storage offers yet in terms of usability they suck.
Poor us, we can't fill it with petabytes of data.
That is not what I hoped to hear
I will try some apps from github and report here. If there is just one that works sufficiently well Amazon Cloud Drive Unlimited becomes a must have.
GoodSync (excellent sync tool for Amazon S3, Google Drive, SFTP, OneDrive and many other cloud services) supported Amazon Cloud Drive in the past, around 2013. They've stopped supporting it two years ago though, thanks to Amazon:

It's going to be interesting if Amazon is now a bit more friendly to 3rd party apps or not.
I've tried acd_fuse and acd_cli and both fail at login. It could be that I wasn't able to make it work. With the first one I get "Error 403 forbidden", while with the second I get this:
These 2 are the most "popular" on GitHub.
Looks like they start billing per year, remove monthly payments
hi! it works! i get it. it was tricky.picpaste.com/YPULcVhZ.jpg
I've used fuse/centos & s3fs

You can't do it with vps (like host solutions), because they have own kernel.
