The Google Cloud Platform provides a data storage service that allows you to store any kind of information, such as text, audio, and video files with High security and durability.

It also offers REST-based API which enables cloud storage to seamlessly integrate with an app run by developers and as well as enterprises.

The data storage service can be integrated with the rest of Google’s services, providing a secure way for businesses to have with

Key Features:

2. Nearline: This storage class is best for storing infrequently accessed data with 30days minimum storage duration with low-cost

3. Coldline: This storage class is used for infrequently accessed data with 90days minimum storage duration with very low-cost and highly durable storage
