Store any amount of data and retrieve it as often\r\nas you like.\r\nNew customers get $300 in free credits. All customers get 5 GiB of standard storage, 55,000 operations, 100\r\nGiB of data transfer, and more for free each month. \r\nFeatures\r\nTake action with Storage Intelligence\r\nSimplify management of your Cloud Storage at scale with Storage Intelligence. Storage Intelligence eliminates\r\nmanual storage management practices. This unified management product offers multiple powerful features to\r\nanalyze large storage estates and easily take actions. Analyze object and bucket metadata to derive cost and\r\nsecurity insights about your data through Insights Datasets. Use Gemini Cloud Assist to generate insights with\r\nnatural language conversations. Perform actions at-scale on millions of objects with zero or no code with Batch\r\nOperations and minimize application downtime by moving entire buckets with just two commands, while\r\npreserving bucket name with Bucket Relocation.\r\nAccelerate your data access\r\nEnhance the performance of demanding applications with Anywhere Cache, a fully managed, intelligent SSD-backed read cache for Region, Dual-region, or Multi-region buckets. Combined with Multi-region buckets,\r\nAnywhere Cache brings your data closer to compute resources in any zone where your TPUs/GPUs are available,\r\ngiving you low latency and high throughput of up to 20 Tbps for AI/ML and data analytics workloads. Benefit\r\nfrom minimizing your network egress costs when accessing data across a continent without the need for\r\nprovisioning or managing a separate storage tier.\r\nObject- and bucket-level permissions\r\nLeading analytics and ML/AI tools\r\nAutomatic storage class transitions\r\nWith features like Object Lifecycle Management (OLM) and Autoclass you can easily optimize costs with object\r\nplacement across storage classes. You can enable, at the bucket level, policy-based automatic object movement to\r\nhttps://cloud.google.com/storage\r\nPage 1 of 15\n\ncolder storage classes based on the last access time. There are no early deletion or retrieval fees, nor class\r\ntransition charges for object access in colder storage classes. \r\nContinental-scale and SLA-backed replication\r\nIndustry leading dual-region buckets support an expansive number of regions. A single, continental-scale bucket\r\noffers nine regions across three continents, providing a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of zero. In the event of an\r\noutage, applications seamlessly access the data in the alternate region. There is no failover and failback process.\r\nFor organizations requiring ultra availability, turbo replication with dual-region buckets offers a 15 minute\r\nRecovery Point Objective (RPO) SLA. \r\nUse Cloud Storage as a local filesystem\r\nCloud Storage is a common choice for storing training data, models, and checkpoints for machine learning\r\nprojects in Cloud Storage buckets. With Cloud Storage FUSE, you can take advantage of the scale, affordability,\r\nthroughput, and simplicity that Cloud Storage provides, while maintaining compatibility with applications that use\r\nor require filesystem semantics. Cloud Storage FUSE also now offers caching, which provides up to 2.2x faster\r\ntime to train and 2.9x higher training throughput, compared to native ML framework dataloaders.\r\nFast and flexible transfer services\r\nStorage Transfer Service offers a highly performant, online pathway to Cloud Storage—both with the scalability\r\nand speed you need to simplify the data transfer process. For offline data transfer our Transfer Appliance is a\r\nshippable storage server that sits in your datacenter and then ships to an ingest location where the data is uploaded\r\nto Cloud Storage.\r\nDefault and configurable data security\r\nCloud Storage offers secure-by-design features to protect your data and advanced controls and capabilities to keep\r\nyour data private and secure against leaks or compromises. Security features include access control policies, data\r\nencryption, retention policies, retention policy locks, and signed URLs.\r\nObject lifecycle management\r\nDefine conditions that trigger data deletion or transition to a cheaper storage class.\r\nObject Versioning\r\nContinue to store old copies of objects when they are deleted or overwritten.\r\nSoft delete\r\nSoft delete offers improved protection against accidental and malicious data deletion by providing you with a way\r\nto retain and restore recently deleted data.\r\nRetention policies\r\nhttps://cloud.google.com/storage\r\nPage 2 of 15\n\nDefine minimum retention periods that objects must be stored for before they’re deletable.\r\nObject holds\r\nCustomer-managed encryption keys\r\nEncrypt object data with encryption keys stored by the Cloud Key Management Service and managed by you.\r\nCustomer-supplied encryption keys\r\nUniform bucket-level access\r\nUniformly control access to your Cloud Storage resources by disabling object ACLs.\r\nRequester pays\r\nRequire accessors of your data to include a project ID to bill for network charges, operation charges, and retrieval\r\nfees.\r\nBucket Lock\r\nBucket Lock allows you to configure a data retention policy for a Cloud Storage bucket that governs how long\r\nobjects in the bucket must be retained.\r\nPub/Sub notifications for Cloud Storage\r\nSend notifications to Pub/Sub when objects are created, updated, or deleted.\r\nCloud Audit Logs with Cloud Storage\r\nMaintain admin activity logs and data access logs for your Cloud Storage resources.\r\nStorage options\r\nStorage\r\ntype\r\nDescription Best for\r\nStandard\r\nstorage\r\nStorage for data that is frequently accessed (\"hot\"\r\ndata) and/or stored for only brief periods of time.\r\n\"Hot\" data, including websites,\r\nstreaming videos, and mobile apps.\r\nNearline\r\nstorage\r\nLow cost, highly durable storage service for storing\r\ninfrequently accessed data.\r\nData that can be stored for 30 days.\r\nhttps://cloud.google.com/storage\r\nPage 3 of 15\n\nColdline\r\nstorage\r\nA very low cost, highly durable storage service for\r\nstoring infrequently accessed data.\r\nData that can be stored for 90 days.\r\nArchive\r\nstorage\r\nThe lowest cost, highly durable storage service for\r\ndata archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery.\r\nData that can be stored for 365\r\ndays.\r\nDescription\r\nStorage for data that is frequently accessed (\"hot\" data) and/or stored for only brief periods of time.\r\nBest for\r\n\"Hot\" data, including websites, streaming videos, and mobile apps.\r\nDescription\r\nLow cost, highly durable storage service for storing infrequently accessed data.\r\nBest for\r\nData that can be stored for 30 days.\r\nDescription\r\nA very low cost, highly durable storage service for storing infrequently accessed data.\r\nBest for\r\nData that can be stored for 90 days.\r\nDescription\r\nThe lowest cost, highly durable storage service for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery.\r\nBest for\r\nData that can be stored for 365 days.\r\nCommon Uses\r\nBackups and archives\r\nTutorials, quickstarts, \u0026 labs\r\nUse Cloud Storage for backup, archives, and recovery\r\nhttps://cloud.google.com/storage\r\nPage 4 of 15\n\nCloud Storage's nearline storage provides fast, low-cost, highly durable storage for data accessed less than once a\r\nmonth, reducing the cost of backups and archives while still retaining immediate access.

An object is an immutable piece of data consisting\r\nof a file of any format. You store objects in containers called buckets. All buckets are associated with a project,\r\nand you can group your projects under an organization.
