[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/amazon-cloud-drive-photos-android-app/)

Looks like releasing its [first in-house-built](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/amazon-game-studios-releases-its-first-mobile-game-air-patriots/) mobile game for Android (and other platforms) wasn't quite enough for the online retail giant. [Amazon](http://www.engadget.com/tag/amazon/) announced earlier that its Cloud Drive Photos application is now available on Android for both handset and tablets, giving users of Google's OS a cloud-based hub to use for uploading, saving, sharing and viewing pictures -- of course this also includes the retailer's kind handout of 5G of free storage, though folks could easily upgrade to 20GB for a $10 per-year fee. The Cloud Drive Photos app is up for download now, so hit that Google Play link below if you're looking for [yet another place](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/dropbox-android-preview-jelly-bean-nexus-7/) to keep all those awesome shots you snap with your device.
