Google Cloud Storage is an Internet service to store data in Google's cloud.

Google Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data and at any time. It provides a simple programming interface which enables you to take advantage of Google's own reliable and fast networking infrastructure to perform data operations in a cost effective manner. When you need to expand, you benefit from the scalability provided by Google's infrastructure.

If you are not a software developer, use Google Drive to store your personal data in the cloud and share it with others.

Google Cloud Storage enables you to store your data on Google's infrastructure with very high reliability, performance and availability. You can use Google Cloud Storage to distribute large data objects to users via direct download. If your application needs to store files to be viewed and managed in the cloud by end users or if you want to integrate with Drive applications, you can do so using the Google Drive SDK. For more information about the differences between Google Cloud Storage and Google Drive, see the FAQ.

For more information about different storage options you can use with Google Cloud Platform, see Choosing a Storage Option.

All data in Google Cloud Storage belongs inside a project. A project consists of a set of users, a set of APIs, billing, authentication, and monitoring settings for those APIs. You can have one project or multiple projects.

Buckets are the basic containers that hold your data. Everything that you store in Google Cloud Storage must be contained in a bucket. You can use buckets to organize your data and control access to your data, but unlike directories and folders, you cannot nest buckets. Buckets belong to a project and cannot be shared among projects. There is no limit on the number of buckets that you can create in a project.

Objects are the individual pieces of data that you store in Google Cloud Storage. Objects have two components: object data and object metadata. The object data component is usually a file that you want to store in Google Cloud Storage. The object metadata component is a collection of name-value pairs that describe various object qualities. Objects belong to a bucket and cannot be shared among buckets. There is no limit on the number of objects that you can create in a bucket.

Google Cloud Storage provides several features and capabilities that make storing, sharing, and managing data efficient and reliable.

Google Cloud Storage supports objects that can be terabytes in size. It also supports a large number of buckets per account.
