Why each option
Cloud Storage is Google Cloud's object storage service designed to store large archives of unstructured data such as video and audio files.
Cloud Spanner is a globally distributed relational database for structured, transactional data and cannot store unstructured binary files like video or audio.
Cloud Storage is a fully managed, scalable object storage service that handles unstructured data of any type or size, including binary blobs, video files, and audio files. It offers multiple storage classes (Standard, Nearline, Coldline, Archive) to optimize cost based on access frequency. This makes it the correct solution for storing large unstructured archives at scale.
Cloud Bigtable is a NoSQL wide-column store for structured, high-throughput analytical or operational data, not for unstructured binary file storage.
Cloud SQL is a managed relational database for structured transactional data and is not suited for storing large unstructured files.
