Google Cloud Storage Overview

What is Google Cloud Storage?

Cloud Storage is a managed service for storing unstructured data, like videos and documents. It is most commonly used for data lakes for analytics, storing AI data, or web hosting. With Cloud Storage you can store any amount of data, and retrieve it as often as you like. New customers can use $300 in free credits to try Cloud Storage. All customers get 5 GiB of US regional storage free per month, not charged against your credits. If you’re a consumer or business looking for file sharing, check out Workspace products like Google Drive (https://workspace.google.com/products/drive/). If you’re looking for photo storage, use Google Photos (www.google.com/photos)

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

Google Cloud Storage is an efficient storage solution that is easy to access, doesn't require technical instruction or specialized knowledge, allows for storing large amounts of data, and has easy access, controls and sharing capabilities. The interface is straightforward. My favorite part is that it can be used as a "home base" for files for ease of sharing, review and product flow within the organization. With people working in different office environments now, i.e., remotely, at home, in coffee shops, and even via mobile phone, it provides a convenient way to access shared files and keep workers productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

I have not found anything that I dislike about the service itself. I have not had any issues accessing files when I need them for the purposes I use the product. However, I have run into running out of space pretty quickly and trying to delete or remove what I don't need, which is too large or duplicated, etc. I attempt to do this to keep from trying to upgrade. I add a lot of documents. So one thing to remember is that if you add many documents quickly, you may need to upgrade to a different plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud Storage helps us access, share, review, approve information and remain organized. It allows us to train our team. It helps me to be able to have access to all company files that I need at any given point and have them on the go. It serves as a backup for essential things for the company.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

The default storage amount is quite limited and will get full with just some photos. The extra amount to get the required storage is something that gets in the expensive zone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a developer and freelance coder, I deal with huge amounts of data related to different clients in my google cloud storage so I can access my data anywhere I go. It is really beneficial for me to just log in to my Google account, access the data I need and work from almost anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

I've been using google cloud as my primary cloud on my day to day basis. The things that I like the most are:

1: Major feature is it offers per-minute billing, which its competitor does not offer

2: The cost of resources is less competitive compared to other providers.

3: Google cloud offers us higher discounts on longer commitments.

4: Google cloud is best at its machine learning and Bigdata services.

5: last but not least, google cloud has a very interactive UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

There are a few things that I don't like about GCP are:

1: The one thing I dislike the most is that they don't have proper documentation for their services.

2: GCP has less number of features and services as compared to AWS.

3:GCP don't provide that strong support for issues . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud has its tool, Google Kubernetes engine, which is a fully managed service that manages all the nodes and pools, so i won't have to worry about the configurations, and I can focus more on the application development.

Creating and maintaining an application or website has become very easy with the help of the GCP cloud. Within 1-2 minutes, your website or application is live , which is very fast if we compare it with others.

Migrate to compute engine which recently helped me alot while migrating my AWS workload to GCP compute engine VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

Having my data secure and easy to access, but also having the confidence in a brand such as Google, is the reason why I use the Cloud Storage. Accessing files from multiple devices, mainly iPad and iPhone, saves me so much time in my day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

The price can be slightly higher than I'd like when requiring my GB worth of storage, but I can't argue with the quality of the product, and as long as I'm on a plan that suits my usage, then I'm comfortable that I'm getting my money worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Historically, having local files on one device, trying to share, or even accessing myself when on the go has been painful. The ability to easily manage, store and access files has made me much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
