Google Cloud Storage offers four tiers with one consistent API and instant access: Multi‑regional (geo‑reduant) at 2.6¢/GB‑mo with 3.5‑9s SLA, Regional at 2.0¢/GB‑mo for compute‑adjacent analytics, Nearline at 1.0¢/GB‑mo with $0.01/GB retrieval for data accessed < once/month, and Coldline at $0.07/GB‑mo with $0.05/GB retrieval and Coldline 90‑day minimum for data accessed < once/year. Durability is 11‑9s, Coldline read latency measures ~150–200 ms per 1 MB, mobile SDKs support resumable uploads and 5 TB objects, and lifecycle rules let objects auto‑tier without changing code.
