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?

Google Cloud provides high security by leveraging fine-grained access. The directory structure in GCS buckets can be well-maintained which helps in storing data efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

The pricing model of GCS should be improved so that large enterprises can move their data without thinking much about the cost. Also, the data retrieval time from the archive storage class can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Customers have organizational compliance policies which require them to store logs and data for a set period of time. While some of the data needs to be accessed frequently, some data needs to be archived and is rarely accessed. Google Cloud Storage has the capability to have storage classes that determine the availability of data stored in the bucket. This helps to save extensively on costs while meeting compliance requirements.

The following features of GCS make it the go-to choice for cloud practitioners:

1) GCS has the capability to host a static website.

2) Storage classes offer a good option to save on costs.

3) Fine-grained access helps to delegate only the required set of permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

My favorite part about Google Cloud's system is that everything is connected, Docs, Sheets, Drive (Drive can consist of anything and everything: pictures, audio, video, etc), Keep, etc. So everything I do business wise, I never have to carry around a thumb drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I do not like the fact that you have a limited amount of storage. I think it is 15 gigs or 25, but yeah as an audio engineer, this gets eaten up pretty quick with uncompressed audio files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Google Cloud is solving my data being able to be cross-platformed across multiple computers at the same time. When bouncing from computers, this makes it easy and cost effective of not having to buy hard drives, thumb drives, etc. It also helps my other hustle which is PV designing. So I can use the google cloud to share my DWGs and PDFs to other designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Storage?

Cloud storage is convenient to store any type and any volume of files. It's fast, automatically replicated between region and you have many feature to manage the object lifecycle, that help you a lot in your days to day management and your cost management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Storage?

Cloud Storage is a blob storage, not a block storage. Folders do not exist. It's nor possible to search with wild card and, because it's API based, it's not as fast as a local storage. It's the tradeoff of all the other good side of the product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's serverless. You don't have to worry about the space that you use, the availability, the unpdates, the patches, the backups and restore. In addition it's the proxy point to google cloud: all the files that come in or get out use Cloud Storage as transient storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
