Google Cloud Platform is the most user-friendly cloud computing suite available. Google Cloud provides its cloud services for free to its users along with $300 worth of credits valid for a year. When compared to other cloud platform suites GCP has the best pricing structure.
Google Cloud Storage is a highly available storage service provided by Google Cloud Platform which allows users to store data files in the cloud. Though free for its users, there is a pricing structure in place if you exceed your free credit limit. If you have any lingering doubts about what the Google Cloud Storage pricing is based on, this is the blog for you. You can learn more from the GCP certification training.
Google Cloud Storage pricing is based on the following components.
Data Storage: The amount of data stored in the cloud storage components corresponds to the operations that you perform with the resources available. Storage rates vary depending on the storage class of your data and the location of where the data is stored.
Data Processing: The process done by Cloud Storage which includes operations charges, any applicable retrieval fees, and inter-region replication.
Network Usage: Network usage is calculated by checking the amount of bandwidth used by the user. Charges may also apply for transferring files from Google Cloud Storage from one location to the other.
Cloud Storage costs are largely determined by the storage tier you select for your data. Here are the tiers offered by Google Cloud Storage
Standard Storage | Nearline Storage | Coldline Storage | Archive Storage |
$0.026/GB/month | $0.010/GB/month | $0.007/GB/month | $0.004/GB/month |
No retrieval costs | $0.01/GB for data retrieval | $0.02/GB for data retrieval | $0.05/GB for data retrieval |
Let’s discuss the various cost components that come into factor when deciding the basis of your Cloud Storage usage,
The cloud storage containers that store your data are known as buckets on Google Cloud. Everything you store on Google Cloud has to be stored in buckets. You can use buckets to organize as well as control access to your data. Data storage costs apply to data that is physically present in the cloud storage and not the data in transit through the network. Data storage rates are calculated according to the storage tier of every object.

The first thing we need to know here is what egress is. In simple terms, egress is the process of data leaving a network and transferring to an external location.
Google Cloud Storage charges separately for network usage. There is a set of guidelines for network usage pricing.
Network egress is considered to be dangerous by organizations because it poses as a potential threat as data integrity might be compromised.
Standard Storage | Nearline Storage | Coldline Storage | Archive Storage |
$0/GB | $0.01 | $0.02 | $0.05 |
Retrieval Fees for Storage Classes
Google Cloud Storage has limits placed on various resources and activities. There are limits on buckets (where the data is stored), bandwidth (network usage), API requests (both JSON and XML) and objects.
