Google Cloud Storage can improve by having better integration and migration tools.

There's a concept called parallel runs. Whenever you are migrating from an assets platform to the target platform. To some extent, once you migrate into the Google Cloud Storage platform, none of the customers are ready to decommission their existing platform. In this case, you have to parallelly verify both the assets and migrated systems for them to work. Google Cloud Storage as of now, doesn't have any parallel verification system, while Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure do. Adding this feature would add value and enable them to handle large-scale migration engagement.

Google Cloud Storage needs to have a complete end-to-end solution to be competitive with the other offerings.

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.

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

The product's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are required. The tool could be more user-friendly and offer more designs to users as it is currently very plain and straightforward.

The tool should be cheaper. 

It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones. We were able to implement things, but it was not that easy.

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.

The solution must provide some accessibility features. We work with people with disabilities. The product must provide features that help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It must provide features that are easy to read on Google Docs. It can also provide pictorial prompts. It can also provide prompts to simplify the meaning of things.

In my previous company, we used Google. More precisely, we were involved with it because earlier, I was using Azure, which we were specifically using AKS, which is Azure Kubernetes Service. So, AKS was a solution that was well-managed by both cloud providers. But compared to AKS, Google Kubernetes is better, especially its GUI and user-friendliness, because one doesn't have to search too much to find a solution.

Solutions from Amazon and AWS are quite better compared to Google Cloud Storage since they offer more services than Google. 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. This might be because AWS has been there a long while Google has just come up in the last five years.

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

Google Cloud Storage could be improved by increasing the drive capacity. 

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 don't find the solution very user-friendly.

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

The solution could always be more user-friendly.

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.

The solution’s stability could be improved.

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.

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

I think improvements can be made from a storage perspective and a cost perspective. We're currently working on the application modernization and I think that the integration section of Google and the cloud could be simplified. Integration across various applications isn't always successful.

Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.

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

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 would like to see better pricing.

The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost.

What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage.

An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible.

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.

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.

Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money.

I would like to see an improvement in data visualization as well as new tools to manage storage in any platform. I think Google already has this solution for management. If you have a data set in Amazon, you must be able to manage it with a Google tool and that's a good improvement. 

I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics.

The solution works fine.

The tool should increase its storage. 

Comparing to Azure Machine Learning, Microsoft Azure is much better and they have more experience than Google. The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.

I would love to use Amazon S3 as it's more user-friendly and the SDK is better. It's easy to let the developer implement it, whereas Google Cloud Storage is hard for the developer to use. The SDK is quite complicated.

The security could always be better.

Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly.

They could improve their storage and stay current.

It is very easy to use Google Cloud Storage, easy to implement, but it is not very flexible when it comes to modifying the parameters.

The level of storage, the level of technology, and the level of services could also be improved.

The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved.

We would like to see the implementation of better identity management.

Increasing the amount of free storage provided would be an improvement.

It is difficult to say what could be improved because it works in the background for me.

I haven't done much with it on a laptop, but when I first logged in, it was a little more complex than Apple. 

It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple. However, I believe they have simplified it in the most recent version. But I haven't had much access to it in a long time.

The licensing fees could be reduced.

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.

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.

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.

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

The solution should have two factor authentication.

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

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

User management could be better. It's a complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users.

The solution needs backup and archival functionality. We had an instance where our account renewal was not done in time and we lost information. Archival and backup can be expanded upon, by providing archival/backup services within the google cloud solution. It would save us from using a third party for our cloud backup, which is what we are currently doing.

I would like to see an improvement in the management or admin pages, because at times it is not easy to work with them. Also, I like an improvement in the IAM part of the Google Cloud . They need to get some parts of the program more mature, like the admin pages  as well as the monitoring part.

I would like more storage available.

I'm not sure if there are any improvements necessary. For my purposes, it works very well.

The solution should improve its security and accountability.

Google Meet is missing the features needed to control the machines.

Google Meet allows you to share the screen but not to control the device itself. It would be better to be able to control it.

They need more enhancements in the security features.

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. 

The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay. 

The user experience needs to be simplified.

It is difficult to configure.

The solution should offer more free storage. 

It is stable, but it can always be more stable.

I would prefer more support for alternative operating systems like DSD. The performance could be better because sometimes there are glitches. The price could be better.

Having more storage space would be an improvement.

It would be good to have more storage space.

The user interface could be more intuitive.

The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature.
