Check out personal, team, and block storage options.Product highlightsAutomatically transition to lower-cost storage classesStandard, nearline, coldline, and archive storage optionsFast, low-cost, highly durable archive and backup storageCloud Storage in a minute 1 min videoFeaturesLeading analytics and ML/AI toolsOnce your data is stored in Cloud Storage, easily plug into Google Cloud’s powerful tools to create your data warehouse with BigQuery, run open source analytics with Dataproc, or build and deploy machine learning (ML) models with Vertex AI. Start querying Cloud Storage data with BigQueryAutomatic storage class transitionsWith 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. IDC projects that Cloud Storage customers can realize average annual benefits worth $86,500 per petabyte. Read report.Continental-scale and SLA-backed replicationIndustry 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. Use Cloud Storage as a local filesystemCloud Storage is a common choice for storing training data, models, and checkpoints for machine learning projects in Cloud Storage buckets. With Cloud Storage FUSE, you can take advantage of the scale, affordability, throughput, and simplicity that Cloud Storage provides, while maintaining compatibility with applications that use or require filesystem semantics. Cloud Storage FUSE also now offers caching, which provides up to 2.2x faster time to train and 2.9x higher training throughput, compared to native ML framework dataloaders.Learn how Cloud Storage FUSE is optimized for GKE and AI workloadsManage your object storage with file inventory reportsInventory reports contain metadata information about your objects, such as the object's storage class, ETag, and content type. This information helps you analyze your storage costs, audit and validate your objects, and ensure data security and compliance. You can export inventory reports as comma-separated value (CSV) or Apache Parquet files so you can further analyze it using tools, such as BigQuery.

You’ll then upload objects into that bucket—where you can download, share, and manage objects.View documentationWhat is Cloud Storage? (2:05)Common UsesBackups and archivesUse Cloud Storage for backup, archives, and recoveryCloud 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.

How does Cloud Storage differ from other types of storage? 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.
