Google Cloud Storage extension ($10)

[Phi]

Cloud storage comes to Fusion apps!



If anyone wants Google Cloud Storage, encrypted multithreaded cloud storage, it's going for $10 minus a bit on the ClickStore!
Google's service itself costs as low as 0.007$/GB/month. That's 100GB a month for only 0.70$.

Giant list of features and details on the store page, but here's some:


Free support until 2022, and Fusion 3 port guaranteed. Compatible with Fusion 2.0 (with Unicode addon).

Just hop on the store page and see if you want to get in on that action.

Cheers,

Hiya,

the store page cannot be accessed right now so I cannot read the description.

Can you provide some real-world applications for this? What is it best for?

@GamesterX23 Refer to https://cloud.google.com/storage/.
It's cloud storage on Google, more suitable for business, multi-user stuff than Google Drive.

There's no cap on the amount of logins on a user, simultaneous uploads, downloads, no bandwidth cap, etc. It's a pay-per-use model, instead of a "buy 30GB, pay for 30GB even if you only use 10GB" model. Both bandwidth and file storage are charged, with rates as low as 0.007$/GB/month. That's 100GB a month for only 0.70$. The full pricing is available here.
There's a free package you can join as well; with $300 credit, 12-month part and an Always Free part.

As you have no limit on amount of logins per user, you could use a cloud login for a Fusion program and send it to as many clients as you want; they could all be uploading and downloading to the same bucket (i.e. folder) and Google's cloud will handle it all invisibly without any fuss.

You can also use it like a limited website. So you could also use it as one of those free sites for file upload/download.

The transfers are encrypted, as are the content on the cloud. Google itself doesn't try to read the content of the data you upload. One of my clients is using it to store video footage from security cameras indefinitely.
All the scaling from a few users to a few thousand, to having data physically near countries with common downloads, is handled by Google. Google also provides an online Console for you to check the state of affairs, outside of Fusion.

Hey folks,

I just wanted to say that Phi has now provided an updated version of this software which he says has removed the need for the external runtime library, which may have prevented some users from running it previously in Fusion 2.5 Standard. These updated files are of course available on the ClickStore.

Thanks

So this can be used to save players' progress on the cloud? (for mobile)

[janpier]

from what i know you can save the game progress using the GPG object(android)

It's not ported to mobile yet, although it might later be ported to Android.

And no, for small storage it doesn't suit. You could try using Get Object with some PHP pages if it's small data storage. Google Play Games set might also offer some small cloud storage, although it's been taken off ClickStore until Clickteam fixes it.

Think of Google Cloud Storage more as file storage when you have a lot of data to store - a bunch of files, like you would put on Google Drive. The person I made it for produces camera management software, so he has a lot of large video files to store.
