About

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

It supports multiple storage classes, including Standard, Infrequent Access, and Glacier tiers, strong read-after-write consistency, automatic encryption, fine-grained access controls, versioning, cross-region replication, and storage class analysis.

Due to its widespread use, the Amazon S3 API has become the de facto standard for cloud storage compatibility.

Cloud Storage for Firebase is a powerful, simple, and cost-effective object storage service powered by Google Cloud Storage.
