Cons
"When compared to one of its competitors, Google Cloud Storage does not have or offer a lot of services to its users. So, this is one of the downsides of the solution.""I don't find the solution very user-friendly.""My use case of this solution is fairly minimal. However, I am concerned about privacy on a cloud platform. Many people are not migrating to a cloud service because they are still concerned about putting data in cloud-based storage.""It would be better to assign storage usage to different categories, because storage capacity is cumulative, if your Google album and email are both full, you will be unable to send or receive email.""It is stable, but it can always be more stable.""The solution should have two factor authentication.""User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users.""The user interface could be more intuitive."

"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools.""They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing.""The pricing is quite high.""The solution needs to offer better System Information and Event Management (SEIM). I'd like to discover how we could implement something like that within Google's cloud.""The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved.""They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files.""The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency.""The UI could be a little bit more effective."
