Google Cloud Storage Reviews

I use Google Cloud Storage to store my emails and attachments from Gmail. I also use it to store my Android phone's videos, photos, and some additional documents. 

I find the accessibility from various devices to be the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage. I also like that it is integrated with Gmail and Google Groups.

Drive pulls in the structure from my computer and recent documents. Nothing very expensive.

I would like to see some improvements to the user interface.

I'm not really comfortable with the user interface because I don't use it very often. I know that my files are there, and I get some information about the size of my storage from Gmail. However, I would like to see a more user-friendly interface.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for about ten years. I registered for it around two years ago.

The stability is okay. I've never had any problems with it.

I am not sure about scalability. I tried to open it, but I don't see any information about how to increase the storage.

I use Dropbox and Google Cloud Storage at the same time. Sometimes, I choose Dropbox deliberately as a solution because I bought Microsoft 365, which includes OneDrive.

I didn't have to do anything. When I started using or registered on my Gmail, it automatically came with it. 

I never had to do anything with the setup of Google Drive. Because I'm not using it in a corporate environment, it's very simple. 

In a corporate environment, it might be much harder to set up the structure, the folders, the access rights, and so on and so on. In my case, with my private usage, it's really very simple because I didn't have to do anything really.

It's free for me; the value is infinite. If I divide the gain by the price. But again, if I hadn't had this Microsoft OneDrive solution, I would pay for Google Cloud Storage or even for Gmail. But since it's free, I never thought of extending my package.

So, under the current circumstances, it's a good value for money, but the money is zero at this moment.

I am just using the free storage that comes with Gmail. I have 15 gigabytes. 

Currently, I'm using 10 gigabytes out of 15 gigabytes. When it's too much, I try to make some backups. So, for example, I'm copying most of my pictures taken with my mobile phone to OneDrive. I'm not very comfortable with the user interface because I'm not using it well. 

The price is the same as Dropbox. It's €10 per month.

I never intended to use Google Storage. It was just a backup or auxiliary service to my Gmail account.

If someone wants to use it, they probably can use it. I am not sure about the corporate environment. But at a personal level, Google Storage supports a lot of functions of the whole Google package, from the calendar, mail, photos, news, and so on. So, anyone who is using this software is definitely using Google Storage in some way. It is about the core usage. So, if someone is looking for a cloud storage solution, I would suggest using it.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to store files and photos. You can store whatever information you have on the cloud.

The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to access, use and its availability.

The pricing for the licensing of the solution could be better. I am not sure about the reliability of the solution.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for nine to ten years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

It is a stable product.

More than 1,000 employees in my company use the solution. We do have plans to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product.

I have contacted the technical support team of Google. The responses from the technical team are fast.

The solution's initial setup process was easy. One month was required to carry out the deployment process of the solution. Two to three people who were administrators and developers were required for the deployment process.

The implementation process was carried out with the help of our in-house team.

My company is paying a yearly subscription for the licensing of the solution. It is an expensive solution.

Before choosing Google Cloud Storage, during our evaluation process, we evaluated a solution called SharePoint.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution's most valuable features are availability, feasibility, and reachability. Google Cloud Storage is the best solution because it is easy to handle. New users can easily grab this technology and start using it because it's a user-friendly product.

I have been using the solution for the last two years. My storage team is working with Google Storage. My storage team has connections to the ISPs, and they are migrating their data from one location to another with the help of 3PAR.

Recently, during the crosstalk issue with the Microsoft patches, one of our team members could access the data from the Google Cloud. Our data was available even when the servers went down, were not reachable, or had issues.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

It's easy for everyone to understand their parts, and you can easily migrate it to anything in the environment.

I rate the solution’s scalability eight and a half out of ten.

Every cloud storage opportunity is the best for us. For example, if you go with cloud storage for your applications or any data that is on the organization, including SharePoint, it is the best way to ensure the redundancy of your data. I rate the solution a nine out of ten for its ease of use. Google Cloud Storage is a user-friendly solution, and any new user can use it.

I would advise users using other storage services to try Google Cloud Storage once. It is free and has more features. Google Gmail provides one TB of storage, and you can store any kind of documentation there.

Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half or nine out of ten.

My company had to deal with two to three projects using Google Cloud Storage. My company operates as an agency and a software house. We work for multiple projects of multiple clients as an agency in server keys for multiple clients. Different clients have different requirements, so my company uses multiple platforms.

Currently, we are not working too much on Google Cloud Storage, so we are not talking too much about what needs improvement in the solution. As per what your company's client wanted, we had only three deployments associated with Google Cloud Storage.

The price of Azure products is high. In my opinion, the prices of Google solutions should be lowered for businesses.

I have experience with Google Cloud Storage. My company works for the clients who use Google Cloud Storage. If customers want Azure, we provide it. If the customers want Amazon, we provide Amazon. If our customers prefer Google, then we offer it to them. Most of our customers approach our company for deployment. My company operates as an implementer.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is a reliable product.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Currently, my company has only dealt with three requirements associated with the tool. Our deployments are mostly on Azure. Our company's clients suggest that they want Google Cloud Storage deployed on their applications.

I am satisfied with the technical support team for the solution. The support engineer's response time is slow. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup phase can be difficult for a business student working for the first time in Google Cloud Storage.

The solution is deployed on a public cloud.

The solution can be deployed in four to five hours.

Currently, the tool does not offer cost-saving benefits. Compared to Azure, Google Cloud Storage does not help with cost savings.

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten.

Google Cloud Storage's support is not fully available on YouTube or through Google itself, especially compared to tools from Azure. If you have any queries or problems, you can use Google to find solutions related to products from Google, Azure, and Amazon. In Google Cloud Storage, some decisions are difficult for a user, especially for those who are not familiar with the current scenario.

The tool's multi-regional storage options have been beneficial for operations since my company works on the cloud depending on the requirements of our clients. For a client who, on a regional basis, is hosting an app with the help of APIs, we provide all of our mechanisms and business models depending on the client's requirements.

Currently, my company has not integrated any services in Google Cloud Storage.

Currently, Google Cloud Storage is not easy for any user. That is why the users are suffering with the platform. Anytime I compare Google Cloud to Azure. Azure platform is complicated, but it is available on Google Cloud. When it comes to Google Cloud, the solution's support is not easy to handle for any new user. As an experienced person who is working on Google Cloud, I know things can be okay. As a new user of Google Cloud, one may face a little bit of difficulty.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for storage.

It's helpful for storage. It makes collaboration with colleagues easy.

The workspace is quite convenient.

We also use Google Meet to handle meetings.

It can be used anywhere at any time. The access is very helpful.

It is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The internal functionality is very good. 

It is easy to set up.

The capacity could be improved. We'd like more storage and hope they reduce the costs for increased storage.

We have some people not using storage at all and some who are using all of their allotment. We'd like to be able to have a certain amount, and those that need more have access to more, and those that need less can have their allotment shared with those that need more. The way it is spread should be more flexible. 

It is hard to migrate to another product if we want to.

I've been using the solution for two years.

It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. The uptime is around 100%.

The solution can scale well. However, we'd like it to be easier to scale so that people can have more flexible storage amounts. 

We have around 100 people using the solution.

We do not have plans to increase usage. 

We did use Office 365 previously. It wasn't really part of an enterprise experience. However, Google and Microsoft have similar applications on their clouds. 

The initial setup could be simple. We can set up the solution and then open up the console and configure it how we want. We have one person that can deploy the solution. It doesn't take a large team. If you have DNS skills, it's an easy task.

We used a team in-house to deploy the solution.

This is a cloud-based solution, and we are always using the latest version.

I wouldn't recommend the solution. If it was easy to migrate to another solution, I'd be more likely to recommend it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We primarily use Google Cloud Storage for storage and as a platform integrated with Google Suite. Extending storage to the cloud is beneficial for additional activities that the company or client may require.

By using cloud services, we have ensured compliance in terms of data protection, which is better than using on-premises solutions. However, many small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines find it challenging in terms of cost, which impacts the decision to move to the cloud.

Google Cloud Storage integrates well with Google Suite, making it easy to extend functionalities to cloud-based platforms for various company activities. The scalability model is robust, allowing additional capacity without issue.

The initial setup appears to be the hardest part, although once familiar with it, the process becomes easier. Pricing remains challenging, especially for SMEs, making cloud services costlier than on-premises solutions.

I've been familiar with Google Cloud Storage since around 2020. Before that, I was using Microsoft-based cloud solutions.

Google Cloud Storage provides a good scalable model, making it easy to add capacity as needed without problems.

I cannot comment on Google's technical support for Google Cloud Storage as I don't have a point of comparison with other providers.

Neutral

In my previous company, we used ERP Storage solutions, however, currently, I am not handling any ERP software.

The initial setup takes about one to two hours with my understanding of the process. However, others I've talked to have taken one to two days to set up what they wanted to do with cloud solutions.

The pricing for cloud services, including Google, remains challenging in the Philippines, especially for SMEs. These businesses often find cloud solutions more expensive compared to on-premises options.

I would recommend Google Cloud Storage for companies that do not want to manage on-premises infrastructure. For small and medium enterprises, the cost may be a limiting factor, so it may not be as feasible for them.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We primarily use the platform as a backend for our mobile applications. 

One area for product improvement would be better synchronization across regions. Currently, the performance can be slow if you access storage from different global locations.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than ten years.

I rate the product stability a nine. 

The platform is scalable, and I have not encountered limits on the amount of data. However, scalability for regional access can be an issue, as performance may vary depending on the user's location relative to the storage region.

The initial setup process is straightforward. 

The product pricing is reasonable. 

We integrate Google Cloud Storage with Google Firebase. Firebase provides an SDK to develop mobile applications and store files in Google Cloud Storage.

As a technical person, I find managing data within the platform easy. I would rate it as a nine. It is both fast and secure.

We use the solution for Firestore. We used a cloud call to run the database. We also use BigQuery for data logs.

Google Cloud Storage is a top cloud product on the Google Cloud Platform.

We have used many Kubernetes clusters and run a GK and GKA with a pilot. It’s performance is good. It is flexible and simple to use.

The solution’s stability could be improved.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for more than five years.

The product is stable.

The solution is scalable.

15 users are using this solution.

If we have the support ticket, we will get a quick response.

The initial setup is simple.

Google has the reliability and security.

I recommend the solution. It is very easy to manage the data.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
