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.""Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly.""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 this solution made faster, cheaper, and bigger."
