That makes sense because not only is the Kindle and Android-based tablet, and therefore Amazon’s priority, the Android app was also the first to launch, back in November 2012. Though the company offers a version of its Amazon Cloud Drive Photos app on iOS devices, too, only the Android version has received the video support at this time. They also went ahead and processed all the videos stored in Amazon users’ Cloud Drive libraries ahead of launch.

The team says its goal was to have videos transcoded within 15 minutes after uploading, but ended up achieving videos that are often ready within a minute or two. According to a post on Amazon’s Web Services blog about the technical underpinnings to the new feature, Amazon’s Elastic Transcoder service was used, which supports over 20 file formats and 40 video codecs. This is fine for the majority of users’ personal videos, of activities, pets, kids or events, for example, recorded on their mobile devices.Īfter the files are in Amazon’s cloud, the video can be played back to any device, including, of course, the Kindle Fire and other Android tablets.
