What Is Google Cloud Storage?

Google cloud storage is a digital storage service that allows you to store your data securely online in the cloud. Instead of only being stored on your own personal hardware, like an external storage drive or your computer’s hard drive, Google Drive stores your uploaded data on its own offsite servers. This means that you can delete files from your computer after loading them to Drive, and they’ll still be accessible in your Drive account when you’re signed in.

Google cloud storage is perfect for storing large files, as you can use the service for free and get up to 15GB of storage space. Higher storage limits of 2TB or more are available for various prices and on differing payment plans. You can access your files from any device, and you don’t have to worry about space restrictions with many of these higher-tier plans.

How Does Google Cloud Storage Work?

Google cloud storage is a great way to store your data securely. With cloud storage, you can easily access your files from any device, and you can store large files like images and videos as well — you aren’t limited to text documents and spreadsheets, although these are easy to store in Drive, too.

Google cloud storage works by storing your data in a network of servers. Whenever you make a request for a file, Google retrieves the file from one of its distributed storage nodes. This is how the company keeps your data accessible across different devices as long as you’re signed into your account using internet access.

You can upload files to Google Cloud Storage just as you would any other online storage service. Simply click the “Upload” button and select the file you want to upload. Google will walk you through the entire upload process, step by step. You can organize files into different folders, share them with other people using specified permissions, and maintain synced data as you work in your various Drive documents. You also have the option to remove files by right-clicking on the document, image, or other file you want to take out of your storage account.

If you’re looking for a way to securely store your data, Google cloud storage is a great option. With Google Drive, you can access your files from any compatible device, and you can store large files without having to worry about space restrictions when you’re subscribed to the storage tier that meets your needs. Plus, Google Drive is easy to use, so you can get started right away with a basic Google account.
