- SaaS solution, not just open source (improvements to s3, for example)
- A global hierarchy of files rather than an assortment of different buckets like s3
- Per-subdirectory permissions and chargeback so anyone can create project-specific subdirectories and have their organization billed for storage costs
- Filesystem drivers allowing every production and development computer and coding environment to access remote files in the same way and with the same ease as remote files. The difference between accessing remote files and local files in Google code is literally just the file prefix. In all other ways, remote files are _better_ than local files (they have all the same features, plus more) so there's very little reason to directly use local disk most of the time.
