Overview
Google Cloud Storage is a global, scalable and secure object (blob) store. Data at rest is encrypted and there is an option to encrypt it with a custom encryption key. Permissions can be granted to members, team, or the objects can be made fully public. The objects are automatically versioned.
Bucket
Buckets are associated with a project. A bucket is defined by its globally unique name, its geographic location and its storage class.
Name
Location
Storage Class

Labels
Bucket labels are not associated with individual objects or object metadata.
