I was previously using Amazon's Elastic Block Storage (EBS) for my storage needs. I noticed that Google Cloud Storage Nearline offers a more cost-effective solution. When comparing the costs of various Google Cloud services with those of AWS, I found that many of Google's services are more budget-friendly. The decision to switch to Google Cloud stemmed from a necessity to operate within a constrained budget while still maintaining efficiency.

I'm also aware of Amazon and Microsoft and they all have the better infrastructure in terms of data centers in the world. They are all stable and all offer good uptime. 

We didn't previously use a different solution before choosing Google.
