It's complex to predict the cost of the storage, it's based obviously on occupation but also from where are accessed the files, on number and type of operations (read/write...) and also type of storage. There is fortunately a calculator for stimating the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity of usage,

Full SDK support.

Terra-form supported.

Strongly consistent because of the fact that for metadata GCP using cloud spanner DB,

AWS's S3 is not strongly consistent.

Easy IAM management, just in couple clicks can be configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lucks many actions that you cannot do when using GCP Dashboard, for example Copy/Cut/Paste from one location to another.

No comparable to AWS storage tiers choice. No auto storage tier tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A great advantage is that I have immediate availability of my files, which allows me to access them or modify them if necessary.

It is much more complicated to lose files in the cloud by having them perfectly located. Space saving on my computer. The cloud is updated automatically. More efficient energy use is carried out. If my computer breaks down, I can access it from other devices.

It integrates easily with my applications.

We have nothing to do in the field of maintenance, since the company takes care of everyone. It is also a scalable storage system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A disadvantage is that security is the responsibility of the company, something that can bring us problems in the future.

We do not have the control of total access to the data since the clauses give up many rights.

You also need to have access to the Internet at all times to be able to save the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Support fee is quite hefty

2. Downloading data from Google Cloud Storage is also expensive

3. SDK APIs seem less stable than the Amazon S3 ones. I encountered several examples in Stackoverflow that were not valid anymore

4. It has a complex pricing schema, similar to AWS S3, so it’s easy to get unexpected costs (e.g., number of requests, transfers… etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of uploading/downloading files and setting Access controls with ease. Regional storage offers low latency and access controls make it ideal for security measures. A JSON file for authentication provides ease of attaching it to Docker containers and setting proper production security policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With attacks on cloud services increasing day by day, one can never be sure of data access by wrong people. Admins need to be really careful during setting up of bucket policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud Storage is the easiest, most simple way to organize all your files onto a cloud service. With ample storage, a low cost and access across all your devices, it is easily the most important feature for your "smart" lifestyle. I don't know how I used to live without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only wish that I could sync my devices more quickly. I know this is also a connectivity issue, so it is not entirely Google's fault. There are just times when I wait longer than needed to get access to my documents and media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
