**What is Cloud Storage?**\ \ Cloud Storage is an online service that allows users to store, access, and manage data over the internet. It offers scalable and durable storage solutions, ensuring data is accessible from anywhere and protected through encryption and access controls. In Google Cloud Platform (GCP), it's called Google Cloud Storage, providing a secure and flexible way to store large amounts of unstructured data, such as files, backups, and media.

**What is Access Control?**\ \ Access control is a security mechanism that regulates who can view or use resources in a computing environment. It ensures that only authorized users or systems can access specific data, applications, or services. In cloud storage, access control defines permissions for users, groups, or service accounts, determining their level of interaction with the resources (e.g., read, write, or delete). In Google Cloud Storage, access control can be managed through Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles or access control lists (ACLs) to define who has access and what actions they can perform on the stored objects.
