Sony ARW (RAW) Files Stored on Amazon Photos

I noticed last night after I uploaded my images to Amazon Cloud Photos that my ARW (Sony RAW) images showed an image instead of a symbol to show that info was stored. I also looked at 2017 and 2016 photos stored on Amazon and an image was showing for RAW files. However, my 2015 RAW images still showed the symbol for the information being there.

I read that Amazon in 2016 would show RAW images for Nikon and Canon but not Sony or Olympus. I could not find anything about Amazon now being able to show Sony RAW images.

This is a pleasant surprise that Amazon is now showing an image for my ARW Sony RAW images. This eliminates a time consuming step in my post-processing work flow of deleting the jpg files after uploading to Amazon. I can now shoot in just RAW instead of RAW+jpg.

I am wondering if someone in the UHH community has heard or read anything about Amazon now supporting Sony ARW in their storage? Thank you.

They are obviously responding to market changes and the wider acceptance of Sony ARW format.

I can confirm that it does now work. I just uploaded a raw shot from my RX10m4 and the thumbnail is displayed. That camera is a good test because I've noticed that some sites or applications have not yet included it.

Update. I tried to print and the format was unsupported. No great surprise but relevant.
