In September 2011, Amazon officially arrived in Europemanaging to become the first online store in our country in less than a decade. The company is a giant in many other markets, and Europe is no exception. The company’s intention was not only to make many of our purchases through its platform, but also to create an ecosystem of services that would bind its customers.
To do this, it created Amazon Prime, an annual subscription system designed to be able to purchase many products from the store. without having to pay shipping costswhich has put off many potential buyers. In addition, Amazon Prime has also sometimes improved delivery times, moving well away from the 7 to 14 days that were the norm when e-commerce first began.
But Amazon Prime is much more than a flat-rate shopping shipping system. While that’s the reason most users hire it, Amazon includes a multitude of other services that many people don’t even know are included on your Amazon Prime bill. Among them, music streaming, series or online photo storage stand out.
Prime Video
The most well-known benefit of Amazon Prime is Prime Video, a streaming system which directly competes with Netflix and other platforms like Max and which, however, not everyone uses, even if they pay for Amazon Prime. This platform, which offers a lot of high-quality content and series, is not very popular with users, even though it has a huge catalog fund.
The interface is not particularly user-friendly since, as is the case with all streaming platforms, it shows by default what the platform promotes, and not so much what might interest a user. But The recommendations on what to watch if we are in a series or a movie are quite adapted to tastes that a person can have if they have seen this series or this movie.

In addition, it has a system of title rental which complements the service itself, and also includes strings than hiring directly from the platform. One of the latest is Max. In other words, you can watch Max content by paying directly on Prime Video. Of course, for a few months now this version of Prime Video has included ads, and to remove them you would have to pay 1.99 dollars per month. It’s in the Google store.
AmazonPhotos
One of the features of this subscription that few people know is that it includes a free and unlimited photo hosting service. It is called Amazon Photos and is similar to what Google Photos originally was. Of course, there is a very clear limit and that is that, although it allows you to store videos, their space is not infinite.

By default, we will have 5 GB to save the video, so if we make several or record them in 4K, this space will soon fill up and we will have to pay again. However, If we want to save photos, it is very easy to useand it will not have any additional cost because it is integrated with Amazon Prime. The application is in the Google Play Store.
Amazon Music
Another service included in the package is Amazon Music for Prime members. This is a limited version of Amazon Music containing 100 million songs without ads.which are a great alternative to Spotify, at least its free version, as it includes ads.

If you want to use the service without limitations, you will have to pay for Amazon Music Unlimited, which costs 10.99 dollars per month, but for many, the version that includes Amazon Prime will suffice. The app is the same in both cases and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
