### "Pros and Cons of Google Cloud"

The advantages of Google Cloud is that it stores my data well and that's good for me

Cons

I thought it was difficult, but I think it is the speed of the internet

### "Best Cloud Storage Out There!"

January 25, 2022

5.0

Overall experience has been great, wouldn't change my cloud storage to anything else. Customer service is always on hand and ready to help if you have problems, and the software does its job as its supposed to.

Pros

Easy to use and set up, and I have been a long time user of anything Google brings out. Dedication to a certain software means that you already know most of it and anything knew is a benefit.

Cons

Remote access and permissions are the only two things that give me trouble, and those are mostly just annoyances, as they are delayed, but they do work.

### "The Storage of the Future is here"

February 20, 2021

5.0

Switching from standard hosting to Cloud Storage has helped us make a turn around and a drastic improvement of resources management and optimization with an uptime of more than 99% at almost -80% the cost.

Pros

We have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than a few years now. We are using it as our main platform for hosting from digital assets to static websites.

Cons

We reported a vital vulnerability on the LoadBalancer about 2 years ago, and just a few months ago it was addressed.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Storage

Amazon Cloud Services are a bit cumbersome compared to the already seamless interface of Google, Inc.

### "The Future is Now"

April 23, 2020

5.0

Aside from sometimes feeling like I need a year of CE courses to use a feature here and there, I couldn't be happier with it. Using GCS makes me feel less lied to by those old futuristic movies and cartoons.

Pros

I love the customization features running virtual machines and not having to worry about losing files anymore. This service saved my family a lot of heartache when every photo of our missing child was lost to a head crash. We thought we had lost everything but we had set up automatic cloud backup and forgot about it. That's the great thing about it. You can do that and not have to worry about it. Google cloud storage has made our digital life foolproof.

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve. There are times that one can get lost trying to find what you're looking for or figure out how to make some things work. I spent an inordinate amount of time feeling like my grandfather trying to program his VCR. I'm pretty tech-savvy, I think, but I've wished for a simpler way a lot using GCS.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Storage

Google offers a lot more speed, customization and reliability, in my opinion. I trust Google more as well. I've always been pleased with my experiences with them. It seems like every year or two Google teaches me about another thing I can't live without.

### "Master of Storage"

April 8, 2022

4.0

Cloud storage has made my business activities easier, storing files has never been so easy. I can access files whenever I want and they are backed up, so quick and easy, I doubt any other software can measure up to it

Pros

High space for data storage, the nice thing is it free and your files are secure, accessible and backed up. This is the best software for storage. It is all I needed for my business and has helped me out a lot of times, I am satisfied.

Cons

I honestly can not fault Cloud storage, maybe having too many documents in the storage section can be messy and wish there was a better way to specify them/categorize them but all in all I love this software and have no measure cons on it

### "Seamless Cloud Storage"

June 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

I feel that the software is secure, and that my information is safe. I like that it is automatic (if you want) and that I can access it from anywhere any time.

Cons

Depending on what I'm trying to access, or from where, it does take some time to retrieve my files.

### "My experience with Google Cloud Storage"

December 28, 2021

5.0

In general I use Cloud Storage constantly because of its design as it is quite effective and efficient, it is not difficult to use and I have not had problems with storage.

Pros

The capacity space of files and easily find the documents

Cons

Sometimes I have to do backups manually

### "Perfect for Saving and Storing Documents "

February 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The best part about Cloud is the automatic back up and saving of files and documents. You don't have to worry about losing anything.

Cons

There aren't any negative aspects of this software. It is most helpful and an asset to how our company operates.

### "Great cloud storage quality"

May 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

I mainly tried it at first because Google is a big name in software service and i has never regret trying it to integrated with my work needs.It has a very large storage space that are expandable to my needs and the flows to sending and sharing my data on the storage to my colleague is very easy to do.

Cons

There are times when the upload and download speed is unstable and more slower than the average. There are also no feature to make it automatically synchronized data on my computer to be uploaded automatically to the cloud storage.

### "Google Cloud Storage is perfect for my small business Peace of Mind! "

October 24, 2019

5.0

Love the solution. I use it all the time as I travel for business and can have fast easy access to anything I might need from my company without having to log into my companies computer and navigate around for it. And the price is hard to beat.

Pros

What I like most about Google Cloud Storage is the ease in which it works with nearly all of other software solutions. Even though I have several Servers, Server Back ups, AVG Server Security, I still use Google Cloud Storage for my companies library of images, content, files and documents. You just can never be Too Safe. Also the ease to pull things back down of the Cloud is so much easier than retrieving data from a backup.

Cons

I would like to see them continue to improve on the ease of pulling data off the Cloud Storage and into other programs. I find it difficult (could be me) when it comes to pulling images from the cloud to my desktop. I wish you could just drag and drop in either direction. They sync keeps my data uploaded to the cloud, but pulling it back down is not as easy as I wish.

### "Best Cloud Storage Option Out There"

October 15, 2019

5.0

Google's Cloud Storage is great, seamless and fitting for every cloud storage need that I've thrown at it. I'd recommend this over every other cloud storage option.

Pros

Google's Cloud Storage options are the best out there as far as cloud storage providers go. Uploading files is a breeze, and finding them on any devices is seamless. Sharing files with the ability to turn on or off the ability for the receiver to edit is great.

Cons

The only possible negative thing that I can say about Google's Cloud Storage options is that the design could be a little more user friendly and customizable at times.

### "Great for storing documents and allowing retrieval from anywhere, anytime"

November 25, 2021

5.0

Cloud storage has been so much faster, easier to retrieve, and easier to pull up from multiple devices than many other cloud products. I was hesitant to switch to it initially because of the low cost, thinking you get what you pay for, but I have been beyond satisfied and find it loads and downloads much faster than competing products.

Pros

Google has made their product line seamless and free so utilizing their document, spreadsheet, etc. programs is a no brainer. Using cloud storage allows the user to take it a step further- anyone with a link/passcode can access the documents from anywhere and they have a permanent home beyond Drive, which limits what can be stored. Storage allows the user to upload other things, like photos, videos, etc.

Cons

There is some duplication of the concept of Drive and Storage and for really not tech savvy people, the initial learning curve of where to store and how to upload/save files can be challenging for them. I think this would be true of any virtual storage site but because Google is so branded by name, the two names are similar enough it adds a touch to the confusion. It is quickly overcome though.

### "Google Cloud Storage... Made us quickly forget dropbox and onedrive"

June 6, 2021

4.0

time saving and simple. works as a data storage platform for years. easy search and retrieval but can be better ...User interfface could use some better imagination

Pros

the 15 gb free storage. remember i was coming from dropbox then which made you refer people to increase your storage space ... everything is easy to use and learn. The ability to easily share any file online, restrict what they can do with it, as in view, edit, give feedback etc to me is amazing Google docs, Google sheets, I just cannot live without those two buddies of mine. The ability to also collaborate on the same document in real time is great ...edit, comment, highlight etc all on the same doc at the same time. So remote working is a natural with it.

Cons

I hate that the google drive free 15GB space includes emails and attachments. AND PHOTOS as well. i can not say you guys are not doing well cos you are literally providing the 15GB free for us I hate that i cannot tell which of the files in the drive is taking the most space. its only when the notification comes warning that i have to run around looking for what is causing the filling up No linux google drive client I hate that i will lose access to my email once my grive fills up

June 22, 2022

5.0

It's the most amazing informal , lifetime lifesaving, super convenient web-orientated, user-friendly, inexpensive, software available to the masses. Highly recommend over Apple icloud.

Pros

If I couldn't use my Brain anymore, i definitely could rely on Google cloud storage for remembering everything that's of importance to me.

Cons

The storage fills up too fast. Storage management gets on my nerves when opening the software.

### "Great value."

April 21, 2022

5.0

Cloud storage allows us to quickly store and retrieve certain files, in particular when we are collaborating with external partners or when we are on the road.

Pros

It's easily available everywhere I can get an internet connection, it is reliable and easy to use.

Cons

Some of the functions are somewhat hidden - I would prefer a more extensive menu of what I can do to be visible (or customizable to be visible) all the time

### "Lifesaver "

October 2, 2022

5.0

Pros

I will be honest and say that this was an item that I am so glad I got it because I didn't know how much I would need it. I am guilty of not clearing emails. I may or may not be exaggerating but I may have close to a million emails. And without having this extra cushion, per Google, other things would not work right because I was out of space. Yes this has helped me tremendously and at such a low monthly fee I would kiss its butt if it had one! It has family plans and individual and it helps a person who just doesn't want to clear emails because I get distracted and end up doing something other than delete.

Cons

That it doesn't do more, like take charge and delete emails cause by the time I get around to it...

### "Good or not?"

May 15, 2020

4.0

Complicated - really hard to handle things in there, but overall it was exactly as a normal cloud storage, where I kept my files.

Pros

I am a little bit confused and hesitate a little as well. I know that a lot of famous and big companies use Google Cloud Storage, such as Twitter, Pay Pal. I tried it. There is a good part that you don't have to pay to try it. I am really not as satisfied as other cloud storage. Maybe there are different pros and cons and since I am just a single user. Maybe it's more into big companies with different kinds of things to keep in them. It works like a normal Cloud Storage for me.

Cons

Maybe it's way easier to use other Cloud Storages. Everything in there needs to be google-searched to understand how to use it or how to find where it is. Things are complicated in there. I am just not as satisfied as the others.

### "A great tool for file sharing in your organization. "

June 21, 2021

4.0

My overall experience has been good. I haven't had a single moment of downtime with Google and that i the best thing. The performance is overall good and durable. There's always the peace of mind of using Google as I know that is secure and always available.

Pros

Having the ability to store everything in the cloud is just great. And google does that job perfectly. There are separate applications available which anyone can download their phone as well. The storage solutions are really cheap and have the ability to integrate with multiple products that we use in our work environment. It's fast and does the job bang on.

Cons

The file management is sometimes really messy. The user interface needs some work done as well. I have had issues if there are too many files in storage, then it gets really troublesome. I have used AWS as well, and they have a lot more storage tier options.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Storage

We choose this option as it was the cheapest and best option that suited our needs. We also have GSuite in place, which works perfectly fine along with Google Cloud.

### "Google Cloud Storage allows for easy online storage of files!"

November 21, 2018

5.0

This helps when we want to keep files online that in which everyone can access and view, as it is easier than sending a mass email out, which is what we used to do.

Pros

Google Cloud Storage is the best software on the market for uploading files to the cloud. With Google Cloud Storage, you can upload a certain amount of files dictated by size, according to the plan you pay for, and with these connected to your Google account, you can share them with people, or just leave them there for safe keeping. Having backups of crucial business files are always a necessity, with Google Cloud Storage, it makes it extremely easy to not only store the files, but to also retrieve them when you need them!

Cons

The only thing that can come to mind that would be annoying with this software was that sometimes when trying to share files on the Cloud with coworkers, it would just not share at all, or there would be a massive delay in when I shared them and when they received them. Other than that though, everything is perfect with this.

### "Free up your space and work on sight in cloud."

December 4, 2019

5.0

For any enterprise, a cloud based platform is must. This one helped us to free up our space frm devices and without occupying any infra, does most of the work on site. Security and back up options are too good. We will never lose our data when after by mistake.

Pros

The only way to store your documents and rely on cloud security is Google cloud storage. Save everything and use it from anywhere you need. Storage limit is quiet large for the cost. Interface is simple and easy to use. Customisation is awesome and integration with docs or sheets helps alot.

Cons

Storage limit can be increased. More flexible plans should be added. Need to scan large files as well.
