Talk:Google Cloud Storage

This article's topic deserves fuller attention. Merging it into a bigger Google article would likely not serve that purpose. I would recommend against merging or deleting this article. If I get time I'll see what I can do about getting a little more content in here. KellyCoinGuy (talk) 07:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Move to Google Cloud Storage
There's a redirect in place from Google Cloud Storage but to me it makes sense to move the page in line with the way most of the Google Cloud Platform offerings are branded now. Would like to hear views of others first Swoophle (talk) 14:32, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

I've tagged this as a copyvio, but the Duplicate Detector may not work because it's copyvioed from more than one Google page. Admin beware of this, please. --NellieBly (talk) 02:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Just let it go.. Following the Rajpaj trail courtesy of bobrayner is a exercise in futility. Google Storage is a legit service; merging it into 'Google' doesn't make sense. If you were to nominate it for Google Code's page, that would be a better move.--Rajpaj (talk) 11:48, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted because... --Rajpaj (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

..because it's nominator is a follower of a user that is on a crusade to smear this person. Speedily deleting this makes zero sense, as it is a real product released 12 months ago to compete on the cloud front against Amazon EC2. Surely, you understand this. Being in beta doesn't make it any less of a usable product; I merely requested that the GS team share more functionality. If you get an invite, you'll see what I mean.

Features
GStorage is literally a re-write of S3 with Amazon APIs replaced by Google APIs. It's safe to assume that key authenticity is a specific to Google account holders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajpaj (talk • contribs) 12:15, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

There is no further need to mention 'beta' and 'Google Storage' in the same sentence. The service is now part of the user's account if they accept the ToS.--Rajpaj (talk) 14:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Degree of compatibility with S3
Google Cloud Storage uses OAuth for authentication and does not support the authentication mechanism used by S3. In practice that means no software written to S3 APIs will directly run against Google Cloud Storage (even if it uses the subset of requests they both support), unless significant modifications are made to support OAuth.

However, although this is obvious to anyone who reads the docs for both systems, I'm having difficulty finding a reliable source for the incompatibility in authentication mechanisms. (I can find plenty of references that incorrectly say that they are compatible without qualification.) Anyone? --David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ (talk) 00:30, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Seems like the right thing to do is remove the dubious statement altogether. It's not referenced (and can't be, since it isn't true), so it should be stricken. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:04, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Google Drive
How about "not to be confused with Google Drive"? I landed here by mistake. 115.69.59.177 (talk) 04:37, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
