Where Are the Photos I Uploaded Onto Amazon Prime Photos?

The Amazon regular clouds like S3 and Glacier work nicely with a lot of programs, Cloudberry being possibly my favorite, also Goodsync.
Amazon Deject Drive aka Amazon Photo Service has been designed so it is hard to use as a backup, and when companies manage it (as Goodsync did) Amazon actively disables their admission (Every bit they did to Goodsync, without notice). Prior to that ACD_CLI was an open source version, as well explicitly disabled by Amazon. And so while "free" is nice, it is not a good backup solution as whoever has an option for doing it volition likely find it disabled.
S3 is actually good simply expensive, Glacier is pretty good but has a lot of gotcha's that can toll money, I detect Backblaze B2 a better a la carte solution than either.

S3 standard pricing is $0.023/GB (source). Whether that's expensive or inexpensive depends on how many images you have.
Your comment most glacier probably ways y'all are using that (which I guess is technically "S3 Glacier" but today is the first time I heard that term). That is $0.004/GB, with a deeper frozen version at $0.00099. My guess is yous take some lifecycle rules or otherwise are moving items into Glacier, so that'due south why it is cheaper than it might seem.
Glacier requires you wait a flow of fourth dimension to download items, i.e. you put in a asking and look.
B2 pricing is $0.005/GB, then it's slightly more Glacier without the restrictions on download waits.
Both take other transactional costs but both usually do not cost much for those unless you are doing a mass upload the commencement time, or a mass download for recovery. For the latter you probably don't care if they charge you a penny a gig or so to get the data back.
S3 also has all sorts of there options like reduced redundancy which tin relieve a bit more than on standard S3, only I don't think on glacier, simply not sure. Amazon'southward pricing is a lot like Photoshop -- larn all you lot want to nigh information technology, just before you finish 1 pass of learning they've added a whole new set -- yous will never catch up. It's ane reason I liked B2, simpler .
Not canabalizing all this a la carte du jour storage money is why they didn't desire Amazon Cloud Drive (with its unlimited photo storage) to be usable for backup.

I've never institute there is a await time Feguson. The few times I've needed to recover a document, I've used Cloudberry and it downloaded. No waiting. I went looking in the AWS S3 Glacier page and see where there 'can exist' a delay only and then far I take not encountered it.
For annal backups, where you will non touch a file unless there is an emergency, I've been very happy with S3 Glacier.
I used it for several years, and at the time there was a await. Information technology was artificially imposed to distinguish their regular vs glacier offerings. Cloudberry would implement information technology auto-magically (and I assume nevertheless will if needed).
My estimate is Amazon stopped imposing it to be more competitive but retained the "may".
I think the pricing has changed. When I last looked (over again, some years ago) B2 was cheaper than Glacier, it's now a tiny bit more expensive. Those kind of price/feature battles are going on continually.

Of course, if yous are using the complimentary (with prime) version, you aren't paying for those. 
I'm a fan of Backblaze (B2), their normal offering is pretty practiced also. If y'all use offline drives (e.1000. USB drives not connected all the time) be sure to carefully read their policy on them and when/if they are retained vs purged.
