Google Cloud Storage Review

March 3, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Cloud Storage is being used across multiple departments of our organization for storing, managing, and sharing documents, reports, and files. It helps reduce the number of emails, especially attachments to be sent over email, also helps keep everything organized. We give access to team members appropriately and manage the visibility of certain files between departments and teams.

Pros

Sharing is easy across team members
Organizing everything into sections and folders
Flexibility of archives when needed

Cons

In tool editions to files is not very flexible, so sometimes we have to download, make editions and upload again.
The archive can get messy after a long time of use and difficult to reference old objects.
I would like to see them start using tags so data can be found more easily

Likelihood to Recommend

Big data projects, with multiple touch-points and files to store, that need to be shared across departments, is the best use for Google Cloud Storage. Buckets help store your data safely, and the security level is unmatched since Google manages it. It's very flexible and responds to multiple programming languages, reducing the learning curve for teams in case of transitions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Google Cloud software platform came up with more than one concept. not only background APIs that operate at code and scripting level of shell and IDEs but also can manage common computer tasks, service, object, the client from virtual disks and machines.its gives everyone a free account that comes with 15GB free storage. When comparing with other competitors that's a huge step. Since it connects with every Google product we can easily share data among them.

Pros

Free account with 15 GB free storage.
Simple but efficient.
Can access all services by web browser.
Real-time Synchronization.
Very easy to share with others.
When working on documents it also comes up with version control. which you can revert the document to the older version.

Cons

Slow evolution.
Need to improve google slides as Microsoft PowerPoint.
Need to clear up trash in order to if u want to permanently remove something from drive and get some space.

Likelihood to Recommend

When a group of people works together on a project Google Cloud will be a lot of useful. Multiple people can work on the same document simultaneously. If you are looking for the best solution, for a fair price, Google Cloud would be the best solution. It is accessible from anywhere.

Google Cloud Storage Exports BigQuery Data Reliably

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

February 26, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Storage is used to store files exported from Big Query. When larger data sets are pulled, the tables can be exported into the cloud storage. It is also used for other purposes but my main use is exportation from Big Query. This is needed whenever you have to query data sets containing more than 10,000 rows.

Pros

Stores files that are large and otherwise difficult to send or store.
Alleviates storage issues.
Receives larger data exports from Big Query.
Allows easy folder creation and organization.

Cons

Currently can't delete folders which means there are cluttered folders on my cloud.
Easier upload options would be nice. The ability to upload and store other file types with an easier interface.
Managing files and storage could be improved a little for easier access and editing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Cloud Storage is ideal when you need to export large data samples from Big Query. It is also fairly good when managing a lot of users in a corporate environment. While there are other storage options available, Cloud Storage gives you enough options and flexibility to control and manage your large file sets quickly and efficiently. It is also a viable option for federated accounts. It is not the best when you need a lot of flexibility or features. Folders can't be deleted for instance, and managing or organizing folders is not its best feature. It's more a solution for simple exports and handling of larger BQ data sets.

File Sharing and Storing on any device

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

February 25, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Google Cloud Storage for several different tasks. For me, it is perfect when I have files that I need to save for an indefinite period of time because I have a habit of sticking them on my Google drive and forgetting about them, then when I need them 6 months later they are there. I also use it for file sharing when I need to quickly get a big file to someone else.

Pros

File storage that is accessible from any device anywhere at any time.
File sharing, again, from any device anywhere, any time.
Integrates flawlessly with Google docs, giving Microsoft 0365 a true contender for a suite of productivity tools.

Cons

There is not a lot to like, but I do like the interface of Google Drive. What I don't like is nothing I can't get past.
It doesn't happen every time, but I have seen sync times take forever which can be incredibly inconvenient.
I have issues sometimes when someone is trying to upload a file to my drive and they get a message that it is full. I can completely empty out the Drive and they will still get the message, so that needs to be addressed by Google.

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Cloud Storage is very well suited for someone that uses multiple wireless devices and would need to access or share files from any of those devices. A scenario where it would not be beneficial would be would be a department or group of users that are on Macs because everyone I know that uses Google Drive on Mac complains of syncing issues.

Great enterprise-level storage product!

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 27, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Google Cloud Storage on a daily basis in order to organize various documents that I view daily as a Recruiter (resumes, job descriptions, various hiring paperwork, etc). In addition, Google Cloud Storage is used across our organization in order to make document sharing easier for all groups that work cross functionally.

Pros

Ease of sharing within the company.
Easy to organize files/groups via Google Cloud Storage versus other cloud storage products.
Easy to sync other Google products (gmail, calendar, etc) to cloud storage.

Cons

Although it's pretty easy to navigate, maybe changing the layout/display just slightly would be helpful. Especially for new users who really need to improve overall organization.
Offering a better tutorial for new users/groups would be helpful. I never got a tutorial when I first started using it and it took awhile to figure out how to navigate.
Not sure what the overall cost looks like for our company, but any discounts offered for companies that also use google products at the enterprise level (like Digital First Media/Adtaxi) would be nice.

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Cloud Storage has been especially useful since our organization also utilizes other Google products (gmail, google calendar, AdWords, Analytics). Therefore everything is easily integrated. Also, in my specific group within HR/Recruitment, it's been useful with sharing numerous resumes and job descriptions for candidates with hiring managers + other members of HR.
