Google Cloud Storage Reviews

I use Google Cloud Storage for backup and storage of my data.

Google Cloud Storage's most valuable features are that it's easy to use and navigate, and it's not expensive.

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.

I've been using Google Cloud Storage for over ten years.

Google Cloud Storage is a stable product.

Google Cloud Storage's scalability is very good.

I would recommend Google Cloud Storage as a secure, inexpensive, and user-friendly backup solution. I would give it a rating of nine out of ten.

My primary use case of this solution is file storage. You can store almost everything in there—files of all formats—and the storage capacity is pretty good. I believe the drive capacity is 15GB or so. This is a cloud-based solution, so you're always using the latest version. 

Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements. 

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

I have been using this solution for many years now. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. The drive could have more capacity. There is easily a minimum of around 70% to 75% of users in my organization who use this Google Cloud Storage. 

I have never contacted technical support, but I know friends who have. My friends gave me very positive feedback about getting immediate support. I've heard Google's support is very good. 

I have used Dropbox too, but I usually prefer Google Cloud Storage. When I started using Google Cloud Storage, it was easy to use and met all my requirements, so I haven't switched back since. 

Since this is a cloud-based solution, installation is pretty straightforward.

I implemented this solution myself. 

I use the free version and have never paid for any extra storage. I have been able to manage in whatever free spaces are given. 

I rate this solution a 9.5 to 10 out of 10. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
