I've just set up my free 5gb cloud drive on Amazon. So far I'm very impressed (though I had to log in to Amazon via their US website). 5 gigabytes of free, easily accessible cloud storage with a very easy to use intuitive interface. I've been using Zumodrive up to now for cloud storage - 2 gb free - but Amazon seems way better.

Can't really compare as i've only ever used dropbox - but im happy with that keep all my important stuff in the cloud in case of a crash. Might give amazon a try see how that fares. dropbox is also free but only 2gb storage.
I logged into my Amazon.com account from the UK, and set up my Cloud Drive. I can upload files to it, but I get the following message when trying to play music files or launch the Cloud Player from my Cloud Drive:

How are you getting around this? I assume Amazon are using geolocation restrictions by IP address - are you using a US proxy?
