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.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

Google Cloud Storage is an awesome storage platform that has a high-class performance, reliability, and has great affordability to all of my storage needs. In my position of work where I have to deal with a lot of data, it is very easy to move data into the analysis process with the help of Google cloud storage by using BigQuery and API for data extraction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

BigQuery seems a bit problematic because it limits how much data can be exported through Google sheets, clipboards, etc. The JavaScript SDK is also quite difficult to work with. I also find it lacking for storing structured information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Previously I used to struggle with handling bulk amounts of data from one storage to another and I was very afraid to do so with Google Cloud Storage as well but it turns out to be very cost-effective and the transference of data made the data analysis quite fast and flexible especially with the API integrations.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

Google Cloud Storage is a very efficient tool and it works smoothly with other Google platforms. There is no chance of losing data and it is a safe and secure platform to store my all important data. It enables me to share any type of data with other colleagues and it works great with an extra backup location and provides me a free account about 15GB storage. My data can be accessed by any device and from any place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

It gets slower sometimes and they still need improvement in Google slides. I have to clear trash data to make space. It is very expensive if you need a paid version and it does not delete folders properly. The upload option is quite confusing and time-consuming. The file management is messy and the editing and accessing file is very complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Google Cloud Storage is well suited when you need to export large data and it is good for managing users of a corporation and its data. It gives me enough options to manage and control your large data files. If you want a secure platform then Google cloud storage is the best solution for you. it is easy to use and work as a central place where I can manage my all important data securely.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

The most helpful feature of GCS, for my job function, is the ease in which we can move data into our analysis processes. We use Google BigQuery and GCS APIs to extract data from storage for analysis. With an increase in employees using more complex analysis functions (python/r scripts, etc.), the API integration with our data has been useful and not something we have been able to do previous to GCS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

The only frustrating aspect of GCS has to do with BigQuery. The limits on how much data can be exported (via CSV, Google Sheet, clipboard, etc.) is significantly smaller than those of our previous service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was not involved in the decision to migrate our data to GCS, but I believe it was a cost saving. For my job function, the switch made data analysis quicker and more flexible with the API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
