In Google Cloud Storage, all resources are stored within a project. Project is a top-level container that stores billing details and user details. You can create multiple projects. A project has a unique project name, project ID, and project number.

Each bucket acts like a container that stores data. You can use buckets to organize and access data. You can create more than one bucket but you cannot nest buckets.

You can create multiple folders within a bucket and you can also nest folders.

You can define access control lists to manage objects and buckets. An access control list consists of permission and scope entries. Permission defines the access to perform a read

or write

operation. Scope defines a user or a group who can perform the operation.

Objects comprise the data that you upload to Google Cloud Storage. You can create objects in a bucket. Objects consist of object data and object metadata components. The object data is a file that you store in Google Cloud Storage. The object metadata is a collection of name-value pairs that describe object qualities.
