As a lead developer, I struggled with the documentation for GCP. This could be improved by being made more clear. Also, the interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved, together with improved search and filter options. For the next release, I would like to see the solution behave more like a regular file-based system. Google Cloud Storage depends on OS, or it's supposed to be on Google Drive or another storage service. Google Storage files are sometimes very different. The solution should be expanded to be like a file-based system so that you can build a fast tool that stores files in Google Drive.

The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency. Currently, Google Cloud Storage Nearline charges a minimum of thirty days for data access. I propose a more flexible approach. Instead of a fixed thirty-day minimum charge, there could be a programmatic adjustment based on data access patterns. For instance, if Google Cloud notices that certain data is no longer frequently accessed, they could automatically adjust the billing. When data isn't actively used, the charges for access to that data should decrease. This approach would ensure that users are billed fairly for the actual access they require, especially when data access patterns vary over time.
