Your app doesn’t even need to interact with files, sync, or interact with other ownCloud features. Any web UI can be included without ownCloud. It can even be a portal to web interfaces of other applications within a business using the external app to display external sites within ownCloud. This is the case as long as that site allows itself to be displayed within a frame.

Cons

"Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but you have to pay extra."

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

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

"I am paying a yearly subscription fee."

"Regarding the cost of the solution, Google offers its users a pay-as-you-go model pricing."
