Google Cloud Storage feels much more intuitive to use versus Amazon S3. I really prefer Google's Node SDK and web interface, and find Google Cloud Platform's access/identity management much more straightforward.

This software is perfect for the organization where a huge amount of data are generated. The software has the perfect features by which the organization can store their information safely. The software has the features where one can share cloud with colleagues for project management. This is most important features of this software whereas all other software does not have the features.

  • Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Google Cloud Storage has been experiencing less technical issues and is more straight forward to use, for our technical team, it saves training time by having a straight forward help and FAQ section. We needed very little training, as opposed to previously used other tools where we had a team visit us to help with the setup and in house training.

We have used Amazon S3 for similar needs, or for solutions that don't support Google Cloud Storage. For us, Google Cloud Storage works much better since it's integrated into Google Cloud Platform. Since we use Google Cloud Platform, Google Cloud Storage is part of our cloud projects already, so integrating its features is much more secure and straightforward.

The two services are very comparable, but we have many different services that all run on the Google Cloud Platform and therefore Google Cloud Storage made more sense as our storage solution rather than looking to an outside service like S3. Either one of these options would have worked for us.

Google Cloud offers Google Cloud Storage, while AWS offers Amazon Simple Storage Services. In Google Cloud services, data transmission is a fully encrypted format on the other hand, in AWS, data transmission is in the general format. Google Cloud volume size is 1 GB to 64 TB while the AWS volume size is 500 GB to 16 TB.

The big difference against other competitors that offer a Cloud storage solution, is the fact that Google Cloud Storage and other Google Cloud Platform products are billed in the local currency. This fact saves a lot of money because in some countries we have to pay for additional taxes when you used a platform or tool billed in Dollars.

Aside from Google Cloud Storage, we've used AWS S3 and have found the two comparable. In fact, GCS is one of a large number of object storage systems that are compatible with S3 (including DigitalOcean Spaces, IBM Cloud Storage, and Azure Blog Storage). When it comes to these systems, we'll pick the storage system that is cheapest, most secure, and integrates well with the app environment; since we already use GCP that often makes Google Cloud Storage an obvious choice.

Google Cloud Storage effectively outweighs Google Drive's limited capabilities. This software, being a paid version, allows for much room for extra storage space, faster loading times from my experience, and easy sharing features. Compared to Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage seems like the go-to software for larger businesses who would like to save time.

Google Cloud Storage is the only right option for media and document files. Unless you need to work with structured information where Cloud SQL or Datastore may be better options, storing files in Cloud Storage is easy and right to the point. Also, prices are worth considering as storage is way cheap and if you don't have a LOT of traffic, networking prices are also acceptable and below other alternatives we evaluated.

Google Cloud Storage compares very similar to Dropbox. The difference of using Googe Cloud Storage is that it is part of a big bundle of products that you are probably already using. If you are a big Google user then it would make sense to get Google Cloud Storage. This way you can have all of the tools you need under one roof. I selected Google Cloud Storage because I was already using Google's other products and I was very impressed by those products so it was an easy sale.

Google Cloud Storage is the only one I have tried. But when researching we looked at Google Cloud, as well as Microsoft and Amazon. Google was more expensive, but seemed to be more of what we were looking for. Again, not really my department.

We ended up with Google Cloud Storage most importantly because we found it far easier to set up, configure, and operate compared to Amazon's offerings. Amazon's many products make it difficult to find just the right one, and from there configuring is overly complicated. In addition, we were already operating a few servers in the Google Cloud Platform.

If your budget is limited, or if you are just starting your business and you're looking for a cloud storage service, this is a good option which is reliable and cheap.

Google Cloud Storage is really a different application. It does not have the data parsing capabilities and it is simply a cold storage option in our use case. This means it is less flexible and has limited uses, but the uses it does have it, performs very well. There is a very low ramp-up time and almost no learning curve. It is basic and simple to use but does the job properly.

  • Guru
Guru and Google Cloud Storage are different in many ways. They are by no means the same product, but our team has begun to move away from Google for our documentation of processes. Guru has a superior system for organizing documents and articles.

I have used Microsoft One Drive, Dropbox, Box, Amazon Cloud Drive, and Google Cloud Storage. All of this cloud storage software do pretty much does the same thing, but the difference for me is in ease of use— for me the easiest to use is Google Drive. I will say this, I use Microsoft One Drive more because MS office will always be head and shoulders above the competition in office suites. But, strictly for cloud storage software, Google is the clear winner in my opinion.

Easier to set up and has a natural interface that is well known to users so it is easy for them to assimilate. Google Cloud Storage is faster than any other option we tried and works perfectly with our Chromebooks. From an ROI perspective, it is the best option for a medium sized company like ours.

We tend to only select Google Cloud Storage when we're using other Google products as it makes integration easier -- but we tend not to choose it for situations where we can use a competing offering from Azure or AWS. We tend to implement the most Azure and AWS by far, and these products are not unique enough that they drive the buying decision by themselves.

It seems obvious that Google has put a lot of effort into making Google Cloud Storage a top competitor in the cloud storage business. The software performs comparatively well on latency, data access, and API management. On the downside, the software is not the fastest for latency or the best for user control or versioning.
