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?

The addition of this service enriches the Google Suite. Currently, the manual process is time-consuming and tedious. Transferring data between users is quick and easy with this service. It can save you a lot of time and effort if you often have users leave the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

Google Cloud can do a lot, and there are a lot of applications, many of which I do not need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The program speeds up a process that would generally take Google Drive a long time. When a user leaves an office suite, it is very time-consuming to transfer their files manually. The process is safe, fast, and secure. If a user leaves the company, it is easy to retrieve all the documents they have stored. As soon as you transfer the documents to the correct party, you can deal with the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
