"From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay."
"It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones."
"The tool should be cheaper."
"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."
