Google Cloud Storage Reviews

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.

We use Google Cloud Storage to copy, and do machine learning, then we send the information back to Microsoft Azure.

Google Cloud Storage's most valuable feature is the native algorithms are available. Some of the algorithms are not available for the use cases that we had in Microsoft Azure. We didn't find any native algorithms and that's the reason why we decided to use the machine learning algorithms in GCP.

Google Cloud Storage could improve the integrations in a way Microsoft Azure is going about it. For Data Lake integrations, Microsoft Azure has a bunch of native pipelines available. All Google needs to do is add the same set or maybe even improve on the sets that they have. All the analytics, including the Data Lake, would then be able to sit in Google Cloud Storage.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately one year.

Google Cloud Storage is fairly stable. It's as stable as Microsoft Azure. Thankfully, those customers that we had weren't hit by any downtime, which Microsoft Azure and GCP did see last year. However, our particular customer was very lucky they didn't face any downtime on either service.

The scalability of Google Cloud Storage is similar to Microsoft Azure. The scalability between GCP, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon AWS, are all at par, all three providers have the same growth pattern that they want to look at. All of them are setting up new regions and new locations. They are as scalable as each other. I don't think you would be in a position to put one ahead of the other.

Machine learning is for a very specific use case and we have six people in our analytics team that are using this solution.

Google Cloud Storage setup is only a couple of clicks and there's no installation per se. As long as the data feed pipeline is there, that part of the solution keeps running on its own and it will produce results based on what it learned.

I would recommend this solution to others if their use case is compelling enough, such as for analytics.

I rate Google Cloud Storage an eight out of ten.

Primarily, I use the solution for all my documentation. Prior to this, I'd normally work three or four years in one company and take up an assignment, make things work there, and move out. All related documents I might share with someone physically. Now, all my documents are on the cloud and more easily accessible. 

It's simple to use. 

There's no implementation process.

I don't find the solution very user-friendly.

I've been using the solution for ten years now. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. it's reliable. 

For my personal needs, it's okay in terms of scalability. I don't see any challenges, however, I don't know how it would be for the commercial user.

We have about 150 people in the company using it. It used to be 400. We're actually using it less. 

We've never required technical support. 

Personally, I used Rackspace, I think five, six years back, which I found it much easier to use, much simpler, and much easier to use.

I'm using the product for my personal needs. In terms of Rackspace, I used to work for a development company, and there I used it for another client. The good part was that whenever I wanted to deploy the whole application, I got good technical support from them. In fact, their team in Hong Kong or Singapore, where they have a data center, that team had a lot of interaction with me on the deployment architecture. They finally suggested the whole solution, how it should be deployed, and how it could be scaled up and scaled down as the need arises. 

The solution does come as part of a bundle. 

There isn't a setup process. It's very easy to start using it. It's all in the cloud, ready to go. 

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I would rate it ten out of ten. If it was more intuitive, it would be even better.

I've used it as my personal online drive, just to store and easily locate files on the go.

It's easy to use. It is directly linked to my email ID, et cetera.

You do not need to install anything. 

The product is stable.

It's scalable.

I'd like the solution to integrate better with other clouds, including the Apple cloud. 

I've been using the solution for five to ten years. I've used it for a while. 

The product is stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable. 

The solution is scalable. You can expand it easily.

Our company is not using Google Cloud. I more or less use it for personal files, et cetera. 

I've never had the need to contact technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

I use both Apple and Google. Google doesn't cost anything, whereas I have to pay for Apple.

There is no installation required. It's very easy to get up and running. 

The solution is free to use up to a certain point. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

If you are a personal user, if you are looking for something for free with limited data, you should go ahead with Google. If you're using it on an Apple platform, if you use the Mac platform, there is no other option rather than using iCloud.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Cloud Storage allows you to access your data from anywhere, from any device, at any time, and you don't have to worry about backup hardware failure because the cloud keeps multiple copies. I'm using this solution for personal use.

It's very practical and reliable.

There's a limited amount of storage, so we need to be cautious because it costs more for more storage. I would like the storage to be less expensive.

I've been using this solution for almost two years.

It's stable.

It's scalable. You can ask for more storage if you need it.

You can access the solution on the internet or you can install the client to access it. Installation is very simple.

I pay for a monthly subscription.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

I would recommend Cloud Storage for those who want to start using it.

We primarily use the solution for cloud storage.

Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use. It is easy as it is linked to our mail ID. 

We can save the data there so that, wherever we log in, we can log into our drive to download any file. We can show it in our drive, so the drive is always linked.

It is easy to use and comfortable.

This is a stable product.

The scalability is great.

It offers free storage of up to 15GB and then you have to pay a reasonable fee. 

Technical support has been fine.

It's actually quite complete and we don't have any issues with the solution. 

I've used the solution for a few years at this point. It's been a while. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and offers good performance. 

I'd rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's extremely scalable. 

Almost everyone uses the product. It's great. There are about 400 people on it.

We do not have plans to increase usage at this point. 

We've reached out to technical support once or twice, however, they easily provide the solutions.

We did not use a different solution previous to this. 

The solution does not need an elaborate setup as it is in the cloud. You don't need to deploy it. 

We do have to pay for additional storage, however, we don't mind paying. They do offer limited free storage up until 15GB, however, we are over that. There's a set payment per month.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I don't have any advice as almost everyone might be using it in India. It's quite prevalent. We'd recommend the solution to anyone. 

I use Google Cloud Storage for my personal use for storage. It is the most common and well-known.

I am satisfied with this solution.

The performance is acceptable.

It's simple to use. You can easily find the function you require by looking at the bottom of any page.

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.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for five years.

We are working with the most recent version.

Google Cloud Storage is a stable solution.

It is for my personal use, I am the only user of this solution.

I have not contacted technical support.

For my personal computers, I have Windows.

Previously, I worked with One Drive.

There is no installation because everything is done in the cloud.

There are no licensing fees.

 I am not an expert in log management. I am just looking for a useful tool in the SRE field. I am just conducting a study. I'm an intern at our company, and I try to assist them with their research, but I have no idea what's going on in our company. I simply present my research.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a seven out of ten.

The primary use case is to store documents in various formats, enabling me to access them anywhere.

We have found synchronization to be a really useful feature. We synchronize documents from a personal machine to Google Cloud Storage, and in addition we make use of Google docs where we can easily create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets or even Powerpoint. Then it is really easy to access documents from anywhere.

It would be beneficial to manage duplicated documents better. For example, when conducting a search, it would be useful to indicate when files are the same or duplicate. You could have the same files in different folders and therefore if you are given a choice to decide what to do, that would be a nice feature. You could either delete or merge them. 

Also, it would be nice to have the possibility to convert video files that you have stored, compress them and store them in different formats. If I had a huge 3-5GB video file and I had the option to convert this to MP3 and compress it that would greatly reduce the file size that is being stored in the cloud.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately 2 years

Regarding scalability, from a users point of view you are not installing anything on your machine. Scalability is not visible to me as an end user.

There has been no need to contact Google for any form of support, I have faced no issues to date. 

There is no initial installation to setup, as it's cloud based storage all you need is a web browser and you can upload and download files right away. 

The free subscription with Google Cloud Storage provides a lower amount of GB storage, if you want to upgrade to more you have to pay an annual subscription. 

We looked at OneDrive and DropBox as alternative solutions. 

I primarily use Google Cloud Storage to store most of my large videos and images. It's very easy to filter it out and get something whenever it's required, rather than keeping it in the traditional way of storage. I use it for personal purposes. 

This solution is cloud-based, so it's always on the latest version. 

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution. 

Google Cloud Storage could be improved if they provided more free storage for free accounts. 

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

This solution is stable. So far, I've never faced any kinds of outages or unavailability. So far, so good. 

This solution provides scalability. If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want, so it's okay. 

I'm continuously using Google Cloud Storage. I add a few photos or videos day by day, but there aren't many specific cases where I have to increase my usage.

Before using Google Cloud Storage, I used the traditional method of storing things on a hard disk. 

The installation process is straightforward and perfect. It doesn't require any technical knowledge, and you can do it yourself. It took me less than five to ten minutes. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want. Considering the features that Google Cloud Storage provides, the pricing is reasonable. So far, I'm still using the free service from them because I'm able to meet my requirements with the free subscription. Maybe, in the future, if a storage requirement comes, I'll pay for it or go for the license. 

I rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten. In terms of security, scalability, availability, and free storage, I always recommend that people go for Google Cloud. 

The company that I am with currently is doing consulting, and my previous company used it in the cloud. Both will be in the Google Cloud.

I personally used Google Cloud Storage to upload data, and the company is using it to save data model training results, such as AI training results.

Its integration with BigQuery has helped in the organization's improvement.

Its blob storage, being able to handle large amounts of unstructured data, is very useful. 

Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable.

On the surface, it appears to be a straightforward product.

It's everything you want, and not complex. 

There was one complicated use case at a previous firm, two years ago. If you didn't name it, but sequentially named it, and you saved your files over a day, and it's a sequence, there would be some inefficiency with the cachets. If you are trying to retrieve large blocks of files, there was a problem with the cache, it was inefficient.

There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing.

Creating a hierarchy can be a little difficult, and obtuse to deal with, but it is something that is workable for a good engineer.

There is no learning curve as compared to other solutions.

 I would like to see some assistance in establishing a hierarchy.

I have been working with Google Cloud Storage for seven years.

The versions are upgraded, but there are not many changes.

In the past, we have used S3, and Amazon AWS.

Google Cloud Storage is an extremely reliable product. There are no issues with the stability of Google Cloud Storage.

Google Cloud Storage is a scalable solution.

The Google technical support is not very good at all. But it's such a simple product that in my entire career, we have never had to contact support.

I have several solutions such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Data Studio as well as Looker.

I have been working with Google Data Studio for three or four years.

The initial setup was fine.

It's an inexpensive product.

Solid, cheap, and performant are the three words that come to mind when describing this solution.

I would rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.
