Despite being a little too busy [scooping up companies](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/24/amazon-ivona/) and [striking new streaming deals](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/04/amazon-ae/), Amazon hasn't exactly been overlooking its set of mobile and [desktop applications](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/22/amazon-in-app-purchasing-mac-pc-web/). Most recently, the online retail behemoth announced a refresh was on hand for [Cloud Drive Photos](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/amazon-cloud-drive-photos-android-app/) on Android, providing users of said app with an auto-save option that, as you likely guessed, allows pics to be automatically uploaded to ones cloud account -- this, according to [Amazon](http://www.engadget.com/tag/amazon/), was "the most requested feature from our customers." Better yet, version 1.2 also brings camera integration to devices running [Android 4.0.4](http://www.engadget.com/tag/android+4.0.4/) or later, which will make it easier for some folks to quickly snap a shot and save it to the cloud-based drive without too much effort. Other tidbits like multiple file downloads and uploads made it to this release as well, making for a pretty plentiful update overall -- links to download from Google Play or Amazon's own app store can be found down below.
