With features like
Object Lifecycle Management (OLM)
and
Autoclass
you can easily optimize costs with object placement across
storage classes. You can enable, at the bucket level,
policy-based automatic object movement to colder storage
classes based on the last access time. There are no early
deletion or retrieval fees, nor class transition charges for
object access in colder storage classes.
Industry leading
dual-region buckets
support an expansive number of regions. A single,
continental-scale bucket offers nine regions across three
continents, providing a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of
zero. In the event of an outage, applications seamlessly
access the data in the alternate region. There is no
failover and failback process. For organizations requiring
ultra availability,
turbo replication
with dual-region buckets offers a 15 minute Recovery Point
Objective (RPO) SLA.
Fast and flexible
transfer services
Storage Transfer Service
offers a highly performant, online pathway to Cloud
Storage—both with the scalability and speed you need to
simplify the data transfer process. For offline data
transfer our Transfer Appliance is a
shippable storage server
that sits in your datacenter and then ships to an ingest
location where the data is uploaded to Cloud Storage.
Cloud Storage offers
secure-by-design features
to protect your data and advanced controls and capabilities
to keep your data private and secure against leaks or
compromises. Security features include
access control policies,
data encryption, retention policies, retention policy locks,
and signed URLs.
The lowest cost, highly durable storage service for
data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery.
Data that can be stored for 365 days.
How It Works
To use Cloud Storage, you’ll first create a bucket, a
basic container that holds your data in Cloud Storage.
You’ll then upload objects into that bucket—where you
can download, share, and manage objects.
Use Cloud
Storage for backup, archives, and recovery
Cloud Storage's nearline
storage provides fast, low-cost, highly durable
storage for data accessed less than once a month,
reducing the cost of backups and archives while
still retaining immediate access. Backup data in
Cloud Storage can be used for more than just
recovery because all storage classes have ms
latency and are accessed through a single API.
Stream audio or video directly
to apps or websites with Cloud Storage’s
geo-redundant capabilities. Geo-redundant storage
with the highest level of availability and
performance is ideal for low-latency, high-QPS
content serving to users distributed across
geographic regions.
Develop and deploy data
pipelines and storage to analyze large amounts of
data. Cloud Storage offers high availability and
performance while being strongly consistent,
giving you confidence and accuracy in analytics
workloads.
If you have a web app that needs to
serve static content or user-uploaded static media,
using Cloud Storage can be a cost-effective and
efficient way to host and serve this content, while
reducing the amount of dynamic requests to your web
app.

Cloud Storage is a service for storing
objects in Google Cloud. An
object is an immutable piece of data consisting of
a file of any format. You store objects in
containers called buckets. All buckets are
associated with a project, and you can group your
projects under an organization. Learn more about
other Google Cloud storage products, including
block storage, data transfer, and file storage.
