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?

Its fairly simple and easy to understand and work with it, either for simple files storage or even a static website deployment, Buckets also called can help teams to store any type of object and data that needs to be processed or kept for archival. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a hard stopper or only limited to this but permissions and security could require advanced knowledge of features outside this feature.

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

To simply file storage or even a static website deployment, I've used it to store transactional data files that later could processed by different internal or external tools as BigQuery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

I didnt realize how important it was to save work to the cloud - until my computer crashed. And i panicked. And I lost sleep. And was paralyzed with fear.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

The best thing about cloud storage is that it is affordable, we don't have to pay a lot for storing terabytes of data. It is also easier to move data from one region to another than BigQuery. gsutil is a life-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is inconvenient when you need to search a file present deep inside bucket folders. Most of the time, even for smaller text files, we can't look into the contents of the file through GCS UI without downloading them into the local system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google cloud storage provides affordable storage, and we could share the data stored in a bucket with multiple projects. We use Google Cloud Storage to access the data shared by various teams and load it into BigQuery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
