The built-in cloud key management services allow administrators to encrypt the stored data and provide secure access to multiple users via encrypted keys. Users can also put files or documents on hold to prevent deletion and handle backup, archiving, disaster recovery, and other operations on a unified portal.\n\nCloud Storage assists managers with recording and maintaining user activity and data access logs for future reference and receive notifications for updates or deletion of files. It also supports integration with various third-party applications such as Acronis, Commvault, HYCU, NetApp, TapeArk, Synology, and more.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/0abbdffe-c131-4c34-a2ce-696fa0706256.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.8,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":2290},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Cloud Storage Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/350/cloud-storage/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Google Cloud Storage","position":3,"item":"/software/2035419/google-cloud-storage","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
