+Amazon Drive, formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive, is a cloud storage

-Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
+## Status
+
+**Important:** rclone supports Amazon Drive only if you have your own
+set of API keys. Unfortunately the [Amazon Drive developer
+program](https://developer.amazon.com/amazon-drive) is now closed to
+new entries so if you don't already have your own set of keys you will
+not be able to use rclone with Amazon Drive.
+
+For the history on why rclone no longer has a set of Amazon Drive API
+keys see [the forum](https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-has-been-banned-from-amazon-drive/2314).
+
+If you happen to know anyone who works at Amazon then please ask them
+to re-instate rclone into the Amazon Drive developer program - thanks!
