Google Cloud is an extension of the Google network that is optimized for developers and businesses. Unlike other Google services, Google Cloud offers you theoretically unlimited storage space. This unlimited storage policy has a number of advantages based on its power, stability and security. Potential disadvantages lie in its narrow scope, pricing and the general principle of cloud storage.
Data Storage Interface and Purpose
Google Cloud is intended for use as a development platform and storage space for data related to apps and websites you have developed. As such, accessibility is limited to those with programming knowledge. Although the Google Cloud service does offer unlimited storage, it is not a straightforward way to store your personal files or music collection. Instead, it is a powerful tool for collecting and storing data through a custom-built project; because of its integration with Google, businesses and developers can store and analyze data using a variety of Google services.
Stability and Security
One advantage of Google Cloud's unlimited storage is the stability of the servers. In addition to Google's strong reputation and presence, its servers are scattered in a number of locations around the world. You can choose whether your data is stored in the US or Europe, or scattered among different servers, providing a variety of options for increased stability or speed of data processing. Furthermore, your data is protected by Google's own security infrastructure as well as any OAuth 2.0 authentication you wish to use with your application.
Pricing
Unlike many other Google services, Google Cloud storage is not free. The amount of storage you can use with Google Cloud is theoretically unlimited, and the cost of storage varies depending on the amount of data you store. Google has five different pricing tiers based on your total storage: 0-1 terabytes, the next 9 terabytes, the next 90 terabytes, the next 400 terabytes and the next 4,500 terabytes. As you store more data, your price per gigabyte decreases.
Lack of Local Data
As with any remote storage option, one disadvantage is the lack of local storage. To access your data, you must have a connection to a remote network. In certain circumstances, this may be difficult or impossible. Therefore, for some types of data, it can be useful to keep a local copy on your own machines. This process may seem redundant and unnecessary, but it is wise if your information is extremely critical.
