Google Cloud Storage Reviews

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.

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.

The solution is only used for the storage and filing of personal items and documents.

The ease of operations is great. It makes everything easily accessible.

It’s very stable.

The stability is good.

The solution could always be more user-friendly.

I’ve been using the solution for the last couple of years.

The solution is very stable. It’s reliable. It doesn’t crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches.

If a company needs to scale the solution, it can do so.

I just use it for personal use. I do not have plans to scale.

I’ve never used technical support. I can’t speak to how helpful they would be.

There is no real installation required as the entire solution operates on the cloud.

I don’t have any information in regards to licensing.

I’d recommend the solution to other users.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution helps us to store and retrieve information from AI, specifically Gemini AI, and to build Google Sheets for presentations. It's a central hub for all our documents, allowing us to store, share, and collaborate without sending attachments.

The solution offers versioning, which lets us work together efficiently on a single document. What I like most about Google Cloud Storage is its ease of use and the integration of all Google services. It's very efficient for work.

Everything is securely protected, and we use USB keys to ensure that no one can access the cloud without authorization. Privacy is a big concern for us, and Google Cloud Storage allows for very granular privacy settings.

Sometimes, I'm not too fond of privacy policies, especially when using certain features like Gemini AI, where agreeing to the terms might mean losing access to your history. One area for improvement is document retrieval—sometimes, it's hard to find documents because the file names aren't always recognizable, and the preview feature could be more efficient. Maintenance for Google Cloud Storage is minimal, but it would be helpful to have a tool that automatically removes duplicate versions of files to save space. The file management in Google Cloud and Workspace isn't very straightforward, which could be improved.

Regarding AI integration, I'm generally satisfied with how AI is integrated into Google Cloud Storage. It works well for retrieving documents from Google Drive. However, it doesn't handle images as effectively. I find the separation between Google Photos and Google Drive inconvenient. It would be much more efficient if I could retrieve both images and text documents together through AI rather than having to access them separately.

I have been working with the product for more than five years. 

For stability, I would also rate it a ten—it’s perfect.

I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. It's very scalable, and if you reach your storage limit, you can easily upgrade to a higher plan or even move to a corporate level if needed. We're a small company aiming to stay small but efficient and we currently have nine partners using the same base to share information.

I had some issues with the Gemini AI in the past month, where it wasn't performing well, and when I reached out to support, their responses were not very helpful. They didn’t address my specific questions and provided very general answers. I would have preferred more direct contact, like a phone or video call, rather than just email. 

Neutral

Regarding competitors, I’ve tried Microsoft’s cloud storage, but I prefer Google Cloud Storage because they are more innovative in some areas. While I still use Microsoft’s desktop software, such as Word and Excel, Google Workspace offers similar apps, and switching between the two isn't difficult. The learning curve is minimal. 

The setup is straightforward, taking just a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the application.

Regarding return on investment, I've seen significant time savings, which is crucial for my work. The efficiency of Google Cloud Storage means I don't have to spend much time managing documents or creating them, which saves me time. However, there are areas where improvements could be made, especially on the backend of Gmail.

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

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.

I'm using Google Cloud Storage for my photo, work files, documents, and a lot of PDFs.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the shared folder.

Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office.

I have used Google Cloud Storage for approximately 10 years.

Google Cloud Storage is stable. I have not seen any downtime and the cloud has been integrated with my local storage. Google has the feature for local implementation.

The scalability is good in Google Cloud Storage. I only need to purchase more storage if I want to expand.

I am using this solution for my office and we have a total of eight people using the solution. We plan to increase our usage in the future.

I have not contacted the support from Google Cloud Storage. However, it would be helpful if Google Cloud Storage had a quick support option when things might not be working correctly. For example, in the past, we have had issues with 
synchronization. However, this problem has now been fixed.

The initial setup of Google Cloud Storage is straightforward.

We do not have to pay for a license for Google Cloud Storage but there is a subscription that needs to be paid.

I rate Google Cloud Storage an eight out of ten.

We use it mostly for document storage and rarely for document sharing. 

It allows us to store documents when our internal data storage is insufficient. 

The best feature is the ease of use. You don't have to be savvy or learn about it in advance to use it. 

It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage. 

We have been using it two to three years. 

The solution is stable and fast with reliable internet connection. 

I haven't had any problems, so haven't had a need to contact them. 

We used internal storage but space was limited. 

We really didn't even need to learn using the videos, it is very easy to use. 

I'd rate it a nine because of ease of use. 

You would end up using Google Cloud storage for anything that has got to do with Google, for example, your Gmail, Google photos, your Google Drive and so on. It’s for storage.

I like the simplicity. It is seamlessly integrated with your Android. There’s no fuss, no hassle.

The solution is stable.

You can continue to add to your storage. You just have to pay and it will grow in size. It is also free up until 15GB.

It's used by a lot of people.

The solution only allows so much space for free. Later, they forced me to buy additional storage. Now I'm a paying Google customer. 

I'm not a fan of Gmail or the overall email viewing experience. I don’t like the interface. I prefer Microsoft and Outlook.

I'd like to see them improve on that product. They should declutter the UI and keep it simple so that, for example, the latest conversation comes at the top of Gmail and you don't need to really break your head to figure out where things are. 

My concern is that they could block me at any time for any reason. It’s not about security. It’s more about me being unsure how they can assure me of having access when I need my files. At some point, Google can just say “you’ve exhausted your storage” and you have to buy more to access to keep your files.

I've been using the solution for barely three months. 

I haven’t had any issues with stability. There’s been nothing so far that I can think about in terms of issues. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable.

It’s my understanding that almost everybody uses the product. Very few are still in the paying segment as they still may not have exhausted their quotas. Unless you are an avid Apple fan, you'll end up using Google Cloud. After all, who doesn't have a Gmail account?

I don't recall any time in the recent past having contacted for support for a technical glitch.

As a cloud-based solution, there isn't really any setup process to go through. 

The solution is free at first, and then you have to pay. I've exhausted my quota of 15 GB which generally Google gives to every user.

I’d recommend the solution to other users.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
