Google Cloud Reviews

I was going to try and create a Firebase hosted site from my iPad and could not make any progress.

The cloud shell command line doesn't allow you to select or copy text. The commands "firebase init" and "firebase auth" result in the cloud shell hanging. The output from "firebase auth" includes a long URL that you can neither click on to navigate to or copy to paste into the browser.

It would be much more useful with GCP if you could use whatever SSH client to access the cloud shell. I would prefer to use Blink from my iPad when I want to access cloud resources from the command line.

There seems to be no way to change the account GoogleCloud uses. It automatically signed me in to my personal account but need to access my work account.

On iOS14.8 i was not receiving any notification sounds. I deleted and reinstalled GoogleCloud and now notifications do not even appear as a setting configuration option in iOS settings meaning GoogleCloud has not requested to allow notifications.

For me this defeats the entire purpose of GoogleCloud .

When using an external keyboard on iPad (e.g. Apple Magic Keyboard, external USB keyboard), the additional on-screen specific to GoogleCloud (esc, tab, home, pgup, etc) does not minimize and covers the last lines of the shell (where the cursor and input text are). Pushing the keyboard minimize icon displays the ssh menu bar above the terminal and does not allow text input to the terminal. This makes it impossible to type and see what you are typing, restricting an otherwise valuable use-case to manage VMs on a mobile device.

I got GoogleCloud to get notifications for incidents from stackdriver. The instructions to register the device don’t seem to be correct? Or something is broken? Maybe I’m missing something. Either way this isn’t great. I don’t understand how I’m suppose to get notifications without having to constantly check my email. Total bummer.

There is no way to change your logged in gmail account in GoogleCloud . What google developer only has one account? Kind of a joke

by Ericadia

First, there’s no way to manage iOS notifications for GoogleCloud. Super irritating.

But even more irritating, incidents that are marked resolved on the console website linger forever in GoogleCloud with a “new” marker. I was hoping to use GoogleCloud for monitoring purposes but for that it’s functionally useless.

GoogleCloud is great since I can’t actually use the Cloud Shell in the Chrome Browser on my iPad Pro 10.5 (for some reason nothing types). However, when I want to use Datalab, the Cloud Shell disconnects from the VM thus shutting down my work in Datalab :(

Error reporting doesnt deliver mobile notifications. It cant because GoogleCloud doesnt even ask for notification allowence. It is not listed under notification settings of iphone

by Nycdrocks

Very helpful app, but if I try to tap into an error in the Error Console, GoogleCloud crashes.

Better if we can have monitoring agent view (e.g. memory, etc) in the dashboards.

There are times when I am out and need to quickly make changes, run some commands in a virtual machine or get a sense of what is happening. GoogleCloud is exactly for that.

I am in a phase right now where I am deciding if I should get a Surface, keep bringing along my compact Chromebook with Linux installed or carry around my iPad for those times when I don't want to lug around a laptop but want to be able to do real work. Usually my iPad is with me anyway but Zi didn't think it could do what I need. GoogleCloud helps change my thinking.

I was looking for a way to easily SSH from an iPad. Sure enough that feature is here. Credentials readily available for me to get it, make some changes or run a script and get out.

Now I am going to look for FTP and BigQuery solutions and if I find them the iPad might just win out.

by Pachocamacho

Simple and easy-to-use, but can I use Datalab with the current version for iPad ?

by Reggae+rock=perfect

Like most other reviews I like this tool for when I’m in a bind or need to get a quick sense of things, or what not.

I know I will love it when services like Endpoints and Cloud Run are supported.

When using the command line it’s too stiff and not user friendly. Azure and Termius iOS apps have a smooth natural feel when SSH into servers. Please update the user experience for the command line to be more smooth and optimized for the iPhone as it is possible.

by TheGiantOtter

I hope they keep developing GoogleCloud. I would kill for something like this with AWS. I’m not going to lie. It’s made me consider putting my side projects in GCP. And I’m an AWS fanboy. Keep it up!

To improve please bring in the dark mode to ipad. I have used GoogleCloud to edit codes and do some runs on my bed. I really love that.

by Maxwhalezhou

I can start/stop and manage my instances from my phone. Its a bit difficult to ssh into the machine and handle heavy duty tasks.

But if you really needed to do something like that, you should be on a desktop anyway. Good UI and can handle simple tasks very well. Just what I need on mobile.

by PhilRayBlueTiger

GoogleCloud is great for getting a snapshot. The only major issue I experienced was when using the SSH feature for a compute engine, the return key doesn’t always work properly. Sometimes, like in a nano window or in a redis-client cli window, it would not send a clear command. Adding an “Enter” button to GoogleCloud ’s touch interface should eliminate this, similar to the tab button.

App crashes even after update. Poor quality control and testing in google.

by Nikniknik9876567789

Can't select text in cloud shell. No way to copy. Really sad that this is the low quality garbage Google creates these days. Have some quality control please

by Bgreenlee

I'm not sure why you'd use GoogleCloud instead of the web. It is missing support for many Google services, notably GKE.

by POLARISpro489

Please add the ability to add Apple Watch complications so app engine metrics can push to the watch

Dude freaking LOVE THE CLOUD!!!!! When I activate the shell I think off the unit "immortal" on the PC game "starcraft 2"s' protective shield 🔥
