Google Cloud Storage Overview

What is Google 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/).

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

The best thing is that we can move data for analysis using GCS API and BigQuery. Integration of other google products is relatively easy. One thing I like the most is that GCP was providing USD 300 for one year trial of GCP, which you can integrate with other Google products in the G Suite. You can configure Identity and access management easily.

It is highly scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

The limitation in data exports is a concerned in GCS while using BigQueery for data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Storage:

I will recommend to others to go for the trial version first and have a look into the GCP, then decide. You can host your web app in GCP if you have traffic in your app/web app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used to store many data in Google cloud storage and export those using Google cloud SDK API. Those data we were using for data analysis. Data analysis becomes easier and faster-using API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
