I started an application where I show my products to my clients and I need to show them the product image, so I started to see how to use google cloud and I read something about filestore but I'm not sure if it's the best solution for me, also I didn't understand the way google charge for that service, in this link explains that 1GB per month it will charge me $0.20 cents, Can someone explain me this?, Is there a better solution for this?,
Thanks in advance.
