# Cloud Storage (GCS)

***

#### GCS

* This is "Object Storage," meant for storing unstructured data like images, backups, CSV files, and logs in "buckets." It is infinitely scalable.
* It is not a database; it is a file system for the cloud.
* Equivalents:
  * AWS: Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
  * Azure: Azure Blob Storage
