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 interface to view where the storage is going is very good. it definitely makes it easy to see what's happening and be able to modify usage accordingly. it's also easy to use, the integration options are pretty good, although still not as good as some other tools (good enough for my purposes though) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

price is higher than alternatives. As i mentinoed above, the integration options aren't as good as some other offerings (ie. microsoft, amazon), though not that bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Storage:

it is a useful tool, especially when you have basic requirements. careful about cost though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

the biggest benefit is having redundancy in some data, which is critical in case servers go down. other benefits that have occurred are to extend local storage, being able to share data with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
