easy to store any document
Amazing!

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I like the ability to store some of my files in a protected cloud. Knowing that my files are safe from hardware crashed is very reassuring.
Cons: I wish the free version allowed you to store more files. But the cost to get more data is very affordable.

Best cloud storage platform


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Google Cloud Platform is the best one on market. Creating virtual machines on Google Cloud Platform is so easy and perfect working. You can create one host desktop to access from everywhere and transfer or host and keep your files over there. And it is too useful to manage virtual machines and other virtual environments on one place.
Cons: Google Cloud Platform is working without mistake as other products from Google. I never faced any negative experience when I worked with it. Thanks to Google Team.

Google Cloud Storage is the best way to keep your data safe, secure, and readily available.

Pros: I've been using Google Cloud Storage for almost two years. It is my off-site and DRP at the same time. In case of unforeseen natural disaster or catastrophe, all my database backups will be safe and secure in Google Cloud Storage.
Cons: There is nothing I would never like about it. In fact, I love using Google Cloud Shell to work around buckets and folders. Google Cloud Storage is the best!
Google storage suits all of our needs as a private high school organization.

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I love that everything is stored and connected wherever I go with my account. It is safe and secure as long as I keep my login secure. The ability to share easily with co-workers and friends alike, makes it truly adaptable. With the inclusion of the File Stream and Backup and Sync, our organization is looking to even remove our need for having a server. Teams can share and edit files (even non-Google ones) wherever they can connect to their accounts and have installed File Stream. With Backup and Sync, I no longer have to worry about storing and maintaining external backups. If I have an issue with a computer, and it needs a reinstall, I do not have to worry about where it has been backed up, or if it has or not.
Cons: I have not run into any issues yet. I would assume though, that some issues may arise if one lacks the storage capacity online for their needs. We have G-Suite and each account has plenty of space to store and share data.
Overall: Peace of mind and organization of files in one place, as well as almost universal accessibility.

i like it


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I use this on my home computer and phone. I enjoy how it saves information and backs up items. Pictures, web pages, and much more! When I switch devices I count on Google Cloud to upload some of my items I chose to carry over.
Cons: Pricing is a steep. There are cheaper alternatives on the market for the same computing power and capacity. but good overall

Everything you need is in the cloud


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I use it as the web server and it works excellent, the controls that they offer for the administration are very great that help a lot to have your web or service always in optimal conditions.
Cons: I think the technical support is not good enough, they make me wait too long and that is a waste of valuable time.
Overall: I always have my website online thanks to this excellent service.
Super Easy to Figure out
Pros: I am not the most trained IT person at the company but I feel like I am able to really understand and do a lot.
Cons: I dont really have anything I dont like about this software thus far, its been very smooth and easy to learn.
Easy to use and can keep an important amount of files

Pros: You can quickly learn how to use it, because of the intuitive design that it has. Also, uploading files are so fast, of course, depending on your internet connection and the size of the files. Its price is reasonable for its performance. The most important detail of this app, is the simplicity of it.
Cons: The overlay and design, its useful, but it can get better for the new users starting to use Google Cloud Storage in order to begin been more organized.

Everything in one place!

Pros: With Google File Stream, which saves to the Google Cloud, you can save more than just google files (docs, sheets, etc.) to your cloud. I save pages documents (mac word processor), photos, screenshots, and more all in one place that is easy to access on my computer. The best part? There's no risk of losing all my work if I were to, say, spill my latte on my laptop.
Cons: I've had some issues with the file stream drive not being able to open files unless I eject it and re-open it. It doesn't happen all the time, and it's frustrating, but also an easy fix.
I use it for all my cloud storage needs.,Its very safe and secure and has a user friendly interface.
Pros: Higher Productivity, Less Disruption is Caused When Users Adopt New Functionality,Can Work From Anywhere.
Cons: There are some production services that feel still as beta - but you might not need them!
Google Cloud and Azure are behind AWS. Every year there is a new feature on AWS that GCP/Azure are following. If your business needs to be on top of cutting-edge technologies. I would go for AWS
Our experience indicates, there are some DevOps services or technologies that take more time than on AWS. Ex. Creating an snapshot of an instance (Server), you have to turn off the instance hence downtime for a few secs!. This thought is from Feb 2018 it could change in the next months/years.

Gives developers access to all of Google and Google services

Pros: Google's Cloud Platform grants developers access to Google's long list of services like YouTube, Drive and Gmail. Google's Cloud Platform, unlike Azure or AWS, requires nothing more than a Google account.
Cons: Google's Cloud Platform is difficult to use and not well designed for new developers. Google's Cloud Platform lacks in ease of customer service.
A clean user interface with plenty of pre-made templates
Pros: Google Cloud Platform has a clean interface. It also provides you with plenty of template examples.
Cons: This product can take a lot of time to learn how to use. I was pretty overwhelmed when I first began using it.

Google Cloud Platform. We have a supreme advantage when it comes to interacting with the cloud.

Pros: Without comparison, Google Cloud Platform services are excellent. I was able to participate in a project in which a SaaS was integrated for a very demanding client. The features offered by Google Cloud are spectacular.
Cons: It is necessary to mention that the implementation of SaaS in Google Cloud was quite difficult, now explain: the software architecture that the client needed at that time depended on certain features that Google Cloud did not have then, we had to find an unorthodox way to find a solution, but still limited in functionality.
Google Could Review

Great program to help create simple websites or complicated applications

Likely Extremely

This software helps make life a lot easier to manage. Interacting with others, this is vital to it.
Pros: I like how much easier it is to share within a group, if need be. Every one has access to what they need. It makes life a lot easier.

Likely
Pros: Google Cloud Platform has an excellent interface, and can be accessed from any device at any time. I am not sure about the pricing, but have been told that it is affordable.
Cons: I may be in the minority on this, but I do not like their VM software. It was easy to use, but I am old and just prefer VMware or Virtualbox.

Great for creating simple websites if you have never done it before


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I liked that you could link API Keys making the transfer of large data files quick and easy. The ability to remotely access this from anywhere without accessing onsite servers is great!

Overall: Makes creating your own work space real easy.
I save a lot of my data in the google cloud platform
Pros: I love that I can log on to any computer and get the information that I have saved in the google cloud.
Cons: I dont like that when I open some of document and it changes the format of how I originally made it. Sometimes the interface can be limited to what I want the document to do.
Google Cloud has helped me save time, money and important information. Can't live without it!
Pros: I love that all of my important professional documents (budget reviews, proposals, projects, plans, lessons, etc.) and all of my personal documents (letters, photos, videos, etc.) are all safe and sound in the cloud. I can never lose them and can always access them....what's better than that?!
Cons: The only thing I like least about this software is whenever I don't have internet, I can't access my stuff. It's a small thing that really can't be fixed, but it's still unfortunate.
Use the cloud should be easy, not complicated and is hard to understand how is difficult to set up..

Pros: The opportunity to save everything in one site just pressing a button, or scheduling when to do it.
Cons: Having frequent ads every time is annoying and is unstoppable.
Free tier pricing makes it a great ecosystem to get started and scale at an affordable rate.

Pros: I am running back-ends for multiple Android apps using Google App Engine & Python, and the built in logging, scaling, and performance has been amazing, especially considering it's been free!
Cons: It can be confusing to import Python modules which aren't supported in house with Google App Engine, which can slow down development.
Excellent working tool

Keep it in the cloud!
Pros: Not sure what yo write. I love all google's software, but have mixed feelings about google cloud. I wish someone would reach out and explain what they can offer.

Smooth, simple, effective

Pros: You can spin up a VM in seconds, have it connect to your VCN, and be ready to use in any environment.
Cons: Google's cloud platform is not as feature rich as AWS but they are getting closer. If I was to choose between AWS and GCP, I would probably choose AWS because of the added features.

My go-to cloud platform.


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Pricing-wise, Google Cloud Platform is very competitive compared to AWS and Azure. The console is also relatively easy to use.

The best developer tools platform.
Pros: Google cloud platform has been my go to cloud platform service for quite some time now especially for small scale personal projects. This is because of the simple developer tools it has on offer.
Cons: The integration across platforms could be made much better. Also the pricing is a little aggresive for even basic services.

The cloud platform is amazing! Kinda like a one stop shop but more for log in and signing in.

Pros: I use this on my home computer and phone. I enjoy how it saves information and backs up items I request. Contacts, Pictures, web sites, and much more! When I switch devices I count on Google Cloud to upload some of my items I chose to carry over.
Overall: As I understand space my be limited, more room or GB to add, or even providing an option. Adding to certain smart televisions as well!
The leader in managed Kubernetes

Pros: Provides the most mature and robust solution for managed Kubernetes, the best choice for orchestrating docker containers at-scale.
Cons: UI can be a bit non-intuitive at times. Requires frequent visits to the docs, which are kept nicely up-to-date, but more attention could be paid to the inline help.
Easy to Use


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Easy to use and definitely imperative to my work from home capabilities. I would not be able to organize and save all my project files in a safe place without this.
Overall: Would recommend this to anyone who works from home and needs a safe place to store and organize a lot of data.
Google Cloud Platform is a comprehensive platform for publishing apps

Pros: Google Cloud Platform offers a vast set of tools and machines where you can publish your own app or website. It offers third party integrations such as newsletter management, databases and much more
Cons: The only con I can think of is the new roles management, quite complex, in my honest opinion, and pretty difficult to understand

Sense of security for my most important photos and documents.

Pros: I appreciate that it has a function of automatically saving documents and photos as soon as you log in so that I never have to worry that something isn't saved.
Cons: I wasn't sure how to connect it to other software at first, but shortly I was able to navigate it just fine!

Effective tolls to streamline process


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Ease to setup for a small organization with little overhead required in learning and deployment. I found their online materials extensive.
Cons: He pricing was competitive but thought overall they would be cheeper. This isn't a big con bur just one though that crossed my mind

Google Cloud Platform is great for both small and big applications

Pros: We're having a great experience thanks to Google Cloud Platform solution for hosting static files and database with great response times. Also, what I really like about Google's approach is the scalability where you can start for free and if you need, you pay for just what you're using.
Cons: At the moment I can't complain about their services, since our solutions aren't that big in scope, but it's solving our problems perfectly.
Best free platform
Pros: I use this platform for very specific storage and performance uses. Overall I find it faster and easier to use than even Box or Dropbox.

Easy to use, holds a lot of info
Pros: I can store all of my pictures and documents easily and access them from anywhere. Sharing to others is also easy
Cons: Setting it up and learning how to use it was a bit confusing but once it's all complete it is easy to use.

Best way to save your company data


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: The power of this product and its versatility is amazing, also it is very easy to manage with different tools, the content on the internet is huge and also the comunity. Also it is very easy to install. The docummentation is pretty easy to find and have a lot of content to dig and take more advantage of the program.
Cons: Tools to manage your data are not as advanced or good as you can imagine, or maybe we are used to use other apps. There are security aspects that are more than a pain, because when configurating or giving access to users you will hit with some problems or things that you must do but you didn't know or are not explained very well.
Overall: Data storage and backups, we had problems with our server and almost lost everything, so this was a good workaround. It is super stable, scalable and a powerfull tool.
We started using the Google Cloud Platform for backup storage.

Pros: Google Cloud Platform is very easy to setup and use. The cost is great compared to other cloud based systems. Their redundancy across projects helps greatly.
Cons: The site at times run slow but other than that nothing.
It is a very useful tool and also safe


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: the speed and scalability of its infrastructure in the applications of the search engine, as well as the possibility of focusing on the construction and not having to think about the infrastructure of certain web programs.
Cons: I recently had some problems with my servers. Then I contacted the Google support team, but there is not an adequate response. And they said that the problem will be solved in 12 hours, but even so, I'm facing the same problem. Even the support team was not good enough to support me
Overall: the liberation of the operative expenses related to the administration of the infrastructure, the provisioning of the servers and the network of networks

great for collaborating with groups


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: It's easy to use for collaborating in teams. I prefer their features on cloud compared to apple and drop box.
Cons: My biggest problem is there is not enough storage space and is confusing for beginners.
Overall: group work benefits
The servers often hang

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Not very adequate technical support just made me angry. I solved the problem myself, but the sediment remained. Those who do not understand thoroughly in this whole kitchen, I strictly do not recommend this service. And so a good platform with a wide range of possibilities. Lets you cool off your own power.
Cons: The problem of server hangs occurs quite often. Most often, the problem is in the wrong actions of the sysadmin himself. But tech support exists for that and to prompt and direct on the right path.

Great Platform to build & store your data


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Flexible and a great tool for collaboration and when you have a team on a project. Also has many reporting options and is very flexible.
Cons: Storage has been a problem but mostly have had no issues (although the interface could be more intuitive).

Great experience till now but other cloud platforms are having more options


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Good performance. Bills in minute-level increments. Excellent usage spike handling. Excellent internal data center to data center networking. Easy-to-use Big Data analysis with BigQuery.
Cons: Only three data centers. Fewer software options than Amazon Web Services. Expert system administration knowledge needed to make the most of the service.

I am a computer science major student. I use google cloud for my course project.

Pros: Compared to AWS, the deployment time on Google Cloud Platform is faster than that on AWS. GCP is cheaper than AWS. The charge mode on GCP is friendly than AWS. So for startups who do not have a great number of user request, it is more money-saving to use GCP than using AWS.
Cons: The document of Google Cloud Platform is a little messy. Sometimes it will introduce several different concepts in one section. This is confusing especially for beginners. It will be more clear to separate different concepts into individual sections instead of trying to merging them together. After all, most document readings are from beginners.
Too difficult if you do not speak English

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I used the service for about 6 months, until I encountered the problem of server hangup. When the server crashed for the first time, I contacted the support team. After several attempts to get rid of me by standard unsubscribes, I received a response that the problem will be fixed within 12 hours. The next day, I encountered the same situation, I could not wait to get help from tech support. In the end, I solved the problem by finding the necessary information on one of the forums. I'm afraid to even think about what would have happened if I had not mastered English perfectly.
Cons: Technical support is removed by standard templates, if you begin to explain to them in the popular technical language that they are wrong, promise to solve the problem and disappear for 12 hours.
Awesome!


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I love the cloud!!! Been using the google cloud for a long and have transition over from drop box. I just like their interface and feature alot better than apple, dropbox and other cloud services.
I've loved switching to using google cloud platform, it's made me a backend developer or sorts :)


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I love the integration with Firebase and Cloud functions. I exclusively use cloud functions for my back-end functionality. I like there there is also a nice way to mock out the functions locally.
Cons: The logging and tracking isn't that great. There is a GUI that works well enough, but I wish there was something easier and better for logging.
Greta plataform for developers

Pros: I love this plataform and the way to magange the API keys, appears me formidable the way to restrict the service via url on site
Cons: The prices when you go more for free resources it's very expensive, and the some instructions are some hard to understand
Good place for your SaaS

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Easy to use, easy to start - you really don't need a lot of work to create first project. Another Pros is big number of tutorials
Cons: Credentials, passwords, API keys - sometimes it is hard to know which one you should generate and use.

super easy and convenient


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I really like the fact that one does not have to worry about where their data is being stored. I can rest knowing it's secured.
Solid platform great for experienced users
Pros: I found it less confusing than AWS and that was a big plus. The performance is solid, and all services work nicely together.
Cons: Well, there is still plenty of room for improvement on the UX side of things. It is certainly geared towards advanced users and there is a somewhat steeper learning curve than other solutions out there. It is also more expensive.
I use cloud-based services to create and manage all websites application.

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: This being a Google Cloud platform it is very powerful and super easy to use with great customer service.
Cons: It is limited in its capacity and usefulness and users will outgrow the tool quickly with any effort.
Overall: This is a great cloud-based service for simple websites to complete application integration
Late entry into the cloud has Google always catching up

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: This is a must if you are developing for Android. The integration of the platform is the highlight when you are developing mobile apps. There seems to be discounts as well when using the platform this way; however, this was something that I could not test. They do roll out new features and do well with requests.
Cons: They always seem to be behind Amazon and Microsoft. They were late to the game, so their product offering is always playing catch up. Pricing seems to be a bit high too. Their customer service is a bit lacking until you reach a higher enterprise level.
Lots of cloud based features for developers

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Lots of features developing own product integrating lots of Google APIs available in a single place, for both software developers and data scientists and engineers.
Cons: The platform sometimes shows error on billing. It seems like the platform is focused more on billing sometimes.
An incredible set of tools to manage web applications

Pros: GCP is a complete set of tools that allows you to manage every part of a web application deployment. You have access to file buckets, datastore tools, emails, analytics stats and a big variety of other tools offered by Google.
Cons: The interface is clean, but sometimes not intuitive. I prefer using the search bar rather than looking for a voice inside the menus, as I don't always find them.
A great cloud platform full of features

Pros: Google has done a great job building a solid AWS competitor. There are a ton of features and lots of different Google technologies that can be utilized.
Cons: It's not super easy easy to use. Google is usually really solid about making good UI decisions but a lot of the Google Cloud Platform dev features have tricky or confusing interfaces.
Google Cloud has allowed us to have our infrastructure on the cloud and more!.
Pros: The best thing about Google Cloud Platform is that it has a lot of tools to help your company move to the cloud. You can start by just having VM's as servers and then using other tools like Pub/Sub to manage notifications. The possibilities are endless.
Cons: Although every tool offered by Google Cloud Platform has a lot of documentation if you ever need support you will ned to buy it, and the prices for small companies can be high
It is from Google :)
Pros: Google Cloud Platform is a great tool for collaboration. It is a very productive tool if used correctly. There is no learning curve if you are a computer user and you know a thing or two about spread sheets or word you can start collaborating.
Cons: A lot of new things are in testing phase so you cannot trust those features. Admin side is a bit complex. Somewhat browser dependent like its more suitable with chrome
Overall: Its a good platform. All of your services are integrated and its secure.

Higher learning curve than I expected, but very powerful.

Pros: My favorite feature of this product is the amount of control that users have over their software stacks. The most popular software stacks are readily available with only a few clicks.
Cons: The learning curve for a web developer with minimal server management was steeper than I expected. The documentation is vastly extensive which helped, but I found myself reading multiple articles numerous times to solve what I thought would be simple tasks.

Reliability and ease of use


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Easy to set up for a project, incredible scalability and to notch performance, the free trials work like a charm even for small working projects.

Connected, Easy, Complete


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I love being able to pick up where I left off at work from my phone on the train or at home. Everything I need is with me no matter where I go.
Cons: I wish it integrated better with iPhone/Apple devices. I know why it doesn't, but it would be nice if it did.
Great cloud platform

Pros: Google drive is very easy to use and works perfectly. It is easy to sync all your files, documents and pictures between all your units. A must-have platform
Cons: To get the full advantage of the platform you must have access to the internet other vices you cannot access to your files.
Overall: It is easy to share your material with other users.

Google cloud is simply the standard

Pros: This might be a little risky, but at this point, I trust all my backup data to be stored on Google cloud. It never goes down, it is always accessible, runs on mobile and desktops and never runs out of space. I'm not sure what else you expect since google offers nearly everything to do to the public free of charge unless you are needing massive amounts of data.
Cons: There is some issues getting it to work properly when it links in and out of Outlook servers. Though I suspect this is not a google issue but more on Outlook which tends to be total garbage.
Google Cloud Platform was a great option. The G-Suite is quite robust and feature rich.
Pros: GCP is scalable beyond anything I could ever use. It also has all the functionality I could need no matter how complex my application becomes.
Cons: The prices really creep up on you in Google Cloud Platform. It can be hard to understand how much things will cost in practice.

Its a great working tool for anyone and for any company no matter how big or small

Pros: I like that you can easily access files, no matter how important or how trivial, anywhere. I like how you can share documents, edit documents with others, at the same time or at different times. I also like that you can create emails for users and manage them from the admin console. And the autosave mode saves a lot of headaches! Plus, the fact that I can edit documents on my phone? Amazing! It has really become a powerful and useful buisness tool.
Cons: I don't like how sometimes documents take too long to load. I would also like the phone app to be a bit more user friendly and the potential to use more features available on the desktop version.
Hooked up with the free tier.

Pros: I've used Google Cloud Platform for personal projects, the free trial was awesome and allowed me to try many services that google cloud offers, but the best thing google cloud has is the always free services, they even include a small vps. Even the trial services are enough to run a small size production project.
Cons: The only problem I had with Google Cloud Platform was at times the interface was very slow and in some rare cases I couldn't activate any service.
For experienced users only

Pros: They've added plenty of new features in the past year to help level the software and make it faster, better and cheaper.
Cons: We loved the pricing compared to AWS but when initially using it the feature set was not there. It seems to have improved in the past year however.
The Google Cloud Platform is a great all-in-one software that I can use for almost anything. Love it
Pros: Google always has a great layout and design that is also very functional. I enjoy the look of it and the use!
Easy way to collaborate with co-workers

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I think this is a great way for multiple people to work and view documents. I find it very helpful to have a team member edit and take a look at my work before sending it out
Overall: I gave customer support a lower rating because I have never had to use them. This is pretty self explanatory.
Intuitive and easy to use with a simpler pricing model and less lock-in.

Pros: We moved our Docker-based server infrastructure to Google Cloud due to some more complex networking needs we had when switching our container management from Ansible to Kubernetes. So far GC has provided everything we need (with one minor exception -- see cons) and the setup and configuration seems significantly less complicated than the other large cloud provider we were using. The compilation of our logs into Stackdriver Logging makes watching the containers less of a chore, and running Kubernetes on this platform works very well (no surprise given Google's involvement in Kubernetes). Honestly, it's a little hard to tell whether the GC infrastructure is much simpler than our last provider (AWS) or if it's the switch to Kubernetes. I can say the combination of the two for us is a real winner.
Cons: We use Postgres for our DB and needed point-in-time backups. We weren't comfortable with the current state of the Google Cloud options for Postgres, so we're using databaselabs (running on GC coincidentally) instead of using GC directly.

Robust ecosystem of tools with easy UI


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: The UI and docs of google cloud platform are, in my opinion, the easiest to understand among all cloud providers. As a developer that translates in to faster go to market of product and faster debugging of any arising issues. This gives our customers a more resilient product with features reaching them sooner.
Cons: The bandwidth (network egress) costs are astronomical. Additionally I would love to see a "given this usage, your bill will be X". One Friday I set up a proof of concept flexible app engine environment and logged back in on Monday to see that I had blown through the free tier and was being charged for usage.
Overall: Rock solid cloud infrastructure with solutions for 90% of use cases.
Simple environment to work with and they offer future-proof security.
Pros: You can configure memory and virtual CPU for whatever workload you need. This helps us save money because we don't have to overprovision for a vendor's rate card.

GCP provides Google's own infrastructure for the small business.

Good but little pricier than AWS but good cloud platform for the future

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Easy to use
Easy to start and developing a solution they almost charge nothing
Good set of API available for CI/CD
Easy to start a project and deploy and easy to scale
User management is much better than AWS cognito
Cons: Very less services when compared with AWS
Services are inclined towards ML and Bigdata.
Missing some services like queueing, greangrass
Overall: Suitable for Machine learning and big data
Fair
Pros: I like that I can store all the things in the cloud and it's always there for future uses of the software.
Cons: It's not always easy to find or log in to your account. I'm not how secure it is with your personal information.
Awesome file & email management

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I've been using Google Cloud Platform for emails, files, photos management and it has been very good value for the money.
Cons: The support is too much "you get what you get" so, you have to live with the limitations, also the documentation does not help that much. At the end you have to deal with the interface and try out too much.
Great software
Pros: Google Cloud is hands down what I go to for any type of storage that I need. I can access is anywhere and that is a plus when I'm always on the go.
Google Cloud Platform for Non Profits is a great and free option for churches but setup is difficult

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Google offers its Cloud Platform for free for non-profits. It is a fantastic option for churches with it's many apps (docs, sheets, etc.) especially in a church such as mine where the team and volunteers are increasingly spread out-- it's rare we're ever in the same room together.
Cons: There is little to not like about getting Google Cloud Platform for free, but I will say it is very, very difficult to get set up and activated. Then, once set up, the admin side of things is quite complex and difficult to navigate even for me, a pastor who thinks of himself as quite savvy with such things.
Overall: The free non-profit version allowed us to transition from an old version of Microsoft Office even on a tight budget and improved our productivity in the process.
Easy to manage cloud storage
Pros: I use the google cloud under a hipaa BAA for storage of health care information in a secure and legal manner - simple process to setup and do.
Cons: I wish there was a way to simplify the feature-set as there are some things that I do not need and would rather not see in settings.
Pros: extermely easy to use and it goes on the cloud which make it easy to access from any computer and phone to show friends, co worker or familly.
Cons: the cloud is great but you will have to pay at one point to have more storage. which could be a minus to it
