iCloud is just rebadged GCS.

GCS and AWS are not competitors with iCloud, DropBox, Box, Drive, OneDrive since they are just raw APIs and storage and not a user facing product.

It is similar to saying that most websites are just cloud-hosted SQL rebranded.

iCloud actually runs on FoundationDB - probably one of most underrated DB engines out there.

you can build object storage on FoundationDB + other awesome bespoke stuff.

		It might use FoundationDB, but it is certainly storing those bytes on GCS.
