## Reviews

### "Great Cloud For Daily Use" — 5.0/5

> **Ted** | *10 May 2022* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Cloud is great for using daily files in the cloud. It has good remote access and unifies data management so you don't have files all over different systems (I have several). I use it for stuff I use all the time and other archival stuff is stored elsewhere to keep it separate.
> 
> **Cons**: In the past it was resource heavy on Windows but has evolved where it is hardly noticable at least for me. I use a middle-high end systems arrangement with both old and new laptops, desktops etc. I am a creative person so I have many systems and large files I use all the time --the final products are archived elsewhere.
> 
> I have loved Google storage once I got into a cloud storage scheme for my many systems. I used to use separate HDD's and SSD's and it became cumbersome. This way, I have insurance I always have my stuff in the cloud. It is secure as well.

### "My recommended storage software" — 5.0/5

> **Jessie** | *10 February 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the high amount of free storage that comes with this the software and did I mention that it was free?
> 
> **Cons**: I previously lost access to my storage cloud and my inability to gain access to my account was damn near impossible I believe that the customer service Department should offer more Avenues to resolve situations like these

-----

### "Google cloud" — 3.0/5

> **Matshidiso** | *30 July 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I dislike is that it takes too long to open
> 
> **Cons**: I like it because it is good storage for my files.
> 
> At first, I didn't know how to use it, and I didn't know I could store files because of the security reasons.

### "Helpful cloud storage" — 5.0/5

> **Maisarah** | *22 April 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Saving my files and documents either for personal use or business use is very easy using this software. Sending my files to other user is really secure, as only the user that i has granted permission can have access to the files and i can limit if they can only read the files, or can edit the files.
> 
> **Cons**: This cloud storage only can scanning for viruses for a files or documents that are less than 100 MB. If the files is more than 100MB, it will not scan it and increasing the chances that user will open files that are infected with viruses. I hope they can improve the scanning system and let it scan a larger files.
> 
> I am working from several device like my desktop, tablet and from my smartphone. Sharing my files across my device can be done with this cloud storage. I also use it as my main backup space for recovery file and data that i linked it with my WhatsApp application.

### "The best for a cloud storage" — 5.0/5

> **Suhaila** | *18 April 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most impactful feature that i really like is to allow other user to have access to my files and they can download and edit the files and all the modification will be shown on the log. It is very critical so i know who has editing the files and when they do it.
> 
> **Cons**: There are not much integration that are compatible with this software. The text search also no responding too the result of the search is not too accurate. That the only thing that i think they need to improve to make it the leading software for cloud storage.
> 
> I really enjoy using this software as my main storage for all my file and document. It can be access from any device as long it has a internet connection. The cost to upgrading the storage size is very competitive compared to other software.

The built-in cloud key management services allow administrators to encrypt the stored data and provide secure access to multiple users via encrypted keys. Users can also put files or documents on hold to prevent deletion and handle backup, archiving, disaster recovery, and other operations on a unified portal.\n\nCloud Storage assists managers with recording and maintaining user activity and data access logs for future reference and receive notifications for updates or deletion of files. It also supports integration with various third-party applications such as Acronis, Commvault, HYCU, NetApp, TapeArk, Synology, and more.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/0abbdffe-c131-4c34-a2ce-696fa0706256.png","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.8,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":2290},"offers":{"price":"0.02","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Cloud Storage Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/350/cloud-storage/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Google Cloud Storage","position":3,"item":"/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage#breadcrumblist"}]}
