Almost every project on Google Cloud ends up needing somewhere to put files. Images for a website, exported reports, database backups, log archives, training data for a model. The service Google built for this is Cloud Storage, and the Cloud Storage: Qwik Start lab (GSP073) on Google Cloud Skills Boost is the usual first contact with it. The lab itself is short. You create a bucket, upload a file, make that file public, and create a folder. It takes maybe fifteen minutes if nothing goes wrong.
