Google Cloud Storage Reviews

I primarily use the solution for storing documents. 

It's my understanding that the solution is secure.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is very good.

There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use.

While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems. 

I'd also like it to be more clear in terms of who is accessing the files and when. I'd like to know if and when someone downloads something or if a file has been manipulated, and who has accessed or changed it, in order to protect our company's most sensitive information.

In my domain, you receive a lot of mail and a lot of publicity marketing and you need to trash them. I don't. One month ago, they told me that I have the maximum allowed storage and I would have to make space in my database. I don't have time to do that. Now, I check my email every day and I trash all things not necessary, and I'm not putting photos in it. I don't know why my database is already full. If you don't keep on top of deleting items and wait until it's almost full, it's so hard to go back and delete so much content.

I first started using the solution a few years ago. It's been a while. I would estimate it's been about six years or so at this point. 

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.

The product can scale up if you need it to.

I've never had to reach out to Google's technical support. I haven't had any issues with it. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be if you contacted them.

There's no installation process as the solution is cloud-based. You don't need to upload or install anything.

The version I use is open-source. It doesn't cost anything to use. 

I simply use this solution for my own personal purposes. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

We've been keeping documents in Google Cloud Storage. It's also where we keep photos and all our marketing files, e.g. posters, leaflets, etc. We're keeping everything on this solution.

From what I hear, Microsoft OneDrive is much better than this solution. The performance of Google Cloud Storage could still be improved. It could have better security.

I've been using Google Cloud Storage for three years.

Google Cloud Storage is a very stable solution.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable.

The technical support team for this solution is customer-friendly.

Installing Google Cloud Storage was very easy. It was something I could do myself.

This solution was implemented in-house.

We have 75 users working with Google Cloud Storage in our company. We have no plans of increasing usage currently.

This solution is very easy to use. We have only one IT guy who's responsible for running all the projects.

I'm recommending this solution to others who want to start using it.

We pay for the Google Cloud Storage license, but I have no idea whether it's yearly or monthly, because it's the company who takes care of it.

I'm rating Google Cloud Storage a nine 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 use Google Cloud Storage to store my personal files and photos.

It is easy to use.

It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for two or three years.

Google Cloud Storage is stable.

Google Cloud Storage is scalable enough.

I am the only user.

I have used Apple iCloud.

I pay a yearly subscription fee.

I don't have any issues with the cost of Google Cloud Storage.

I would absolutely recommend this solution.

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

I use the solution for personal storage. 

The solution should have two factor authentication.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for a couple of years.

The solution is already stable and I have not encountered problems in this regard. 

I have not had occasion to contact tech support. 

Other than the solution, I have only made use of Enterprise. 

As the solution is cloud-based, there is no installation involved. 

The solution is free.

The storage is really easy to use. 

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

Our primary use for this solution is ML driven data products.

GCS has cut on both development and delivery times of workloads for projects that use mission-critical Google APIs. The time savings is measurable in months. 

The most valuable features are Pub/Sub, Data Explorer, BigQuery, and Data Transfer. They provide incredible value and work seamlessly together.

I would like to see this solution made faster, cheaper, and bigger.

My primary use case is to meet my personal storage needs. I don't use it much because, for free, it provides a limited amount of storage. 

I have more than enough personal storage and have had no security issues. 

This solution could be improved by increasing integration with other tools, like Microsoft. 

I have been using Google Cloud Storage since it first became available to users. 

Google Cloud is stable. 

I'm not aware of any scalability challenges because I'm using the private version. 

I have never contacted Google's technical support. 

I also use OneDrive from Microsoft. 

Since this is a cloud-based solution, there is no installation. 

I implemented myself. 

It provides a very limited amount of storage because it's free. 

I would rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten. I would recommend this because I have more than enough personal storage and there are no security issues that I'm aware of. 

Whenever we take pictures on the mobile, it sends the file to Google Cloud Storage since it's linked to the Gmail account. 

The solution operates in the background and it is attached to my Gmail account. When I download files to my phone, such as pictures, they automatically go to Google Cloud Storage. 

I have been able to retrieve files I have stored on Google Cloud Storage from ten years ago.

I have been using Google Cloud Storage for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

If you are using Android and a Gmail account Google Cloud Storage is used by default. Many people are using this service and might not know.

I have not had an issue contacting support.

The solution is free unless you want to increase the GB data allowance. There is a cost if you want to increase the size of storage space which is expensive.

When I use the solution I do not check it to see if it is backing up my information. However, I have retrieved files from it from years ago.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Google Cloud Storage a nine out of ten.
