### "Best Storage Solution for Enterprise"

October 20, 2022

5.0

GCP as a whole is an amazing platform. And CLoud Storage is one such offering from GCP. It's a pleasure to use and a lot of 3rd party Applications support it. So buckets can be easily deployed using Terraform/Ansible.

Pros

1\. There are many options for Storage according to use case : Nearline/Coldline/Archival storage for data less accessed. And Multi/Regional Storage for frequently accessed data.2. Lifecycle policies to manage all aspects of your data.3. IAM and ACL to manage access on each file or storage bucket.

Cons

Storage transfer becomes hard when you are a small organization and need to upload a lot of data.

### "Secure and convenient venue to store your data, files, and documents. "

January 30, 2022

4.0

On a daily basis I have to document sensitive information and it is a peace of mind that I do not have to worry concerning unauthorized individuals viewing them. As soon as you write you documents they are stored in the Cloud and are safe from those who do not need to know.

Pros

This software is easy to use and the storage of my data, files documents, etc. was seamless. To store reports and letters with Google Cloud storage is an amazing peace of mind.

Cons

I initially found it difficult to share the files and documents with others authorized to have them, but it was more of operator error than a flaw with the software.

### "Cloud Platform is a valuable and reliable app"

January 18, 2022

5.0

Google Cloud Storage has been an extraordinary tool for me. I love using this because it is open and helps me save important information without question of data loss if my PC is accidentally or stolen. I use Google Cloud Platform to store and back up my important lines and files on the web.

Pros

I've probably used Google's storage app several years ago, I get stressed about losing data in an accident, so I move all my genuinely meaningful data to Google's cloud storage facility to keep it. I can use any device anywhere to break into my data just by logging in. There are plenty of options to investigate on stage, such as oversized data and free man-made IQ estimation.

Cons

Google Cloud Storage Platform is a valuable and reliable app, but it does have some drawbacks. One charge is that the free storage facility is restricted. Therefore, I have to pay for repetitive storage space.

### "Best backup option"

February 16, 2021

5.0

We use it to make automatic backup for our customers, with cold storage. We created our own backup application, which copies data daily to the cloud. It was easy to develop with the SDK, and we were surprised by the stability / reliability of the upload routine. It is very fast, has several connection options and makes it easy to know if it worked. We just need to have some graphics to evaluate the use of storage or to be able to facilitate the rotation of files, in our case we solved it via programming in our app.

Pros

Affordable price and ease of use. The setup is a bit complicated, but uploading files is very easy and uploading is very reliable.

Cons

Some permissions configuration tasks could be less complicated. It uses concepts of assignment groups, for simpler scenarios full access would be enough.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Storage

This is one of the few functions that we took from Azure and put on Google, mainly due to the lower price and the confidence we have in the Upload stability of this storage.

July 4, 2022

Couldn't be better..

Pros

Without lifting a finger or a thought having to cross my mind, all of my important documents, files, and photos are automatically backed up and accessible from anywhere at anytime and from any device. I feel confident that my information is secure and readily available.

### "Document storage for remote working"

May 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

Google Cloud Storage does a good job at document storage, backup, and retrieval for the digital age we are working in. Our work just moved to solely cloud-based and has been in the process of moving all documents over from physical servers. While it has been a project to get everything moved, Google has made it as simple as possible to move and upload files.

Cons

The cost increases greatly depending on the amount of storage that is needed and we are constantly reminded to keep our files clean and reduce wasted storage space.

### "Work well as a cloud storage"

June 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

Google really do a very well cloud storage service, either for the paid version or the free plan. Any user can easily use this platform, because there are no advance technical skills needed to get expert on this software. Uploading my digital assets like document, files or media to the cloud storage is very breezy and smooth.

Cons

Apart of the limited storage space for the free plan, there are not much to be dislike with this software. The pricing scheme is included in the bulk software that they offer, and can't be purchase as a stand alone software. Overall, this software is the main software that i have choose to manage and storing all my digital assets online.

### "Won't trust anyone else"

December 4, 2020

5.0

My overall experience over the last few years with my Google Cloud Storage has been wonderful and carefree. I do not worry that anything is missing. I know it's all they're once it is saved an I can go back an find it when ever I need it! there maybe so much of it there but I know that it is safe. I recently had an experience where I had redeemed some prize items and received confirmations for those items. I never received them, then the company was trying their best to say i didnt reedem anything werent going to send me my prizes. Thankfully after lots of searching, I went back and was able to find the information proving that they had in fact redeemed these rewards for me. I was able to prove this. An Finally I received all my redemptions in the mail. I can not exspress how thankful to my Google Cloud Storage is was for having my back.

Pros

Almost love that I have unlimited storage for everything I need to store and Save. For a very fair price I pay yearly. With a company that I truly love and Trust, an have never had any issue with.

Cons

There's nothing I dislike or that bothers me about my Google cloud storage and there always adding new features.

### "Use it for Everything"

April 22, 2021

5.0

Google cloud storage has created mass efficiencies for me because I've worked remotely for quite some time. I needed a place to store working documents, and this is it. I've also found it useful for personal use with my photos and other projects. Great value, so far.

Pros

I literally use google cloud storage for everything - from photos, to working documents, and as a place to archive things. It's incredibly useful, easy to use, and inexpensive/ free , depending on how much storage you need!

Cons

There are almost too many google products out there today, which can be confusing sometimes. That said, I stick to a few of the products I've found to be the most useful and have stuck to those.

### "Almost perfect!"

September 30, 2020

5.0

Google Cloud is reliable and simple to use, if it wasn't for that one feature I definitely think it would be a perfect cloud storage system.

Pros

I've been using Google Cloud exclusively for my personal online storage for a few years now. It took no additional setup outside of creating a gmail address and even syncs to my phone to backup automatically. I've had no issues with files going missing or difficulty finding files that are shared with me, a problem I often have with Onedrive.

Cons

While I do prefer Google Cloud for my personal storage, there is one feature that I do prefer from Onedrive that in my opinion would make Google Cloud PERFECT. Onedrive offers optimization for photos of whiteboards, documents, etc. which makes them easier to use or read after the fact. As a student, this feature was incredibly helpful/useful and I feel like if Google implemented something like that it would completely blow Microsoft out of the water.

### "Safe place for your important documents with lot of other features"

August 26, 2019

5.0

I am a Google GSuite user for more than 3 years. Cloud storage is the fastest and the safest way to backup and store very important files. It is safer than your personal computers hard disk due to the redundancy maintained by google. Sharing larger files via Emails is also possible with google drive.

Pros

I use google cloud to store my video datasets for machine learning projects. It is very secure because of google guarantees availability and durability. Chrome extension is available for accessing the cloud server and also traditional accessing techniques such as SSH also available. The new collaboratory platform on google servers is another great feature that we can run machine learning models on the cloud server instantly.

Cons

Some times uploading take a longer time when a large number of files are being uploaded. The iOS mobile application has issues when uploading multiple image files. Other than that cloud storage is very effective. Even with the free account users can enjoy 15GB of cloud storage.

### "My Back up for my Files"

August 24, 2023

When I am recovering some files or data google storage is handy enough to click. I can store more files without worrying that my devices storage is full.

Pros

Since our devices are limited to storage google provide a digital storage where you can upgrade to add more storage. Best for businesses who use data and files for reporting.

Cons

I know the price is high but if you need security ang more storage upgrade now, You can try free version of it for beginners.

October 19, 2021

5.0

Cloud Storage making the process to storing a files and document more easy and not dependent anymore on local drive storage.

Pros

I am in love with the security provided by this software, and i can store and work comfortably knowing my online data can be easily access by me. Cloud storage is important nowadays, as I always work outside of my office and need a quick access to my files and data.

Cons

Some of the things that i like least with Cloud Storage is, the file indexing layout is not too user friendly, and i had some hard time searching back for my files or document. They file view is too big, and i had to scroll to the bottom to find the correct file.

Overall Its an excellent cloud storage software in reasonable price. Contains all the relevant features like file sharing, data recovery, data backup, mobile access, etc... Sometimes it may feel little slow but overall its an complete solution of your data storage and file sharing problems.

Pros

Few things I like in software are- Its highly secure. Automatic backup. User friendly interface. It provides remote access. Means it provides access to files from any of your devices.

Cons

Few things that can be improved in the software are- Sometimes it feels slow. Storage of large files or data can be more easy and fast.

### "One Of The Great Options For Cloud Storage"

September 26, 2020

5.0

Overall, this has saved me a lot of hassle, I am able to backup anything valuable to me which is great, even if my hardware fails I will not lose any files, this alone is worth the price in my opinion. Google Cloud is easy to use, the security is great, data upload speeds are beyond fast and there is nothing like piece of mind knowing your important files are safe.

Pros

Google Cloud Storage is one of the better options out there in terms of cloud storage providers. It is quick and easy to upload files, data syncing is fantastic and the ability to share files and edit them in real time is really a god send function! Google Cloud Storage also seamlessly integrates with other google suite apps which is great, the amount of storage you get is adequate and a large amount of files can be handled with ease.

Cons

I am a big fan of Google Cloud Storage and I do not really have any negatives about them. It works great for me and therefore I do not have many complaints. The file sorting could be a bit more intuitive and there is somewhat of a learning curve when you first get started. I think these are very minor problems though, so it is not a big deterrent for me.

### "Best option for backing up files in cloud"

June 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

One of things that really making me loved this application is, the process in backing up my files or document with this applications is really simple and smoothly executed. It synchronized with my files in my desktop really well and it will gives notifications once the synchronized process is completed.

Cons

A bulk update is sometimes too frustrating as it keep get interrupted and the uploading process is suddenly get put on resume status. The is also no easy way to get the files on the cloud storage organized in its category and only option is a files type can be "grouped" among the files.

### "Google Cloud Storage Saved My Short Film"

October 19, 2022

5.0

Absolutely must have for anyone in production. Integration with other Google products makes things easier.

Pros

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FILES TO CLOUD SERVICES!!! I cannot say that enough. Everything I have worked on, edited, and shared, is saved and backed up on Google Cloud. I literally have had over 30teryabtes of video dedicated to the cloud and that has kept me from losing hundreds of hours worth of film when my physical drives failed.

Cons

Only downside is that sometimes you cannot batch download properly.

### "Keeps all my data secure at a low low price"

April 21, 2022

5.0

I'm happy I decided to go with Google Cloud Storage, I don't even have to remember to pay for it every month as it is automatically billed to my mobile carrier on each months bill.

Pros

I was getting alerts about low storage that I ignored until I noticed for about a week, I wasn't receiving any new emails. I realized it was do to storage being to low on my device to accept anything new. I added the cloud storage through a trial and have had it ever since ( 9 months later). And I didn't have to go through the process of deleting stuff I really wanted to keep or moving things around.

Cons

I could do without third party integrations, but it's what makes the internet world go round.
