Google buckets is a bit off - the product is called Google storage. Buckets are also a term used by s3 and are equivalent to azure blob storage containers. They are an intermediary layer that determines attributes for the objects stored within it such as ACLs and storage class (and therefore cost and performance). As to your question, object storage[1] seems to be the generic term for the technology. Internally they all rely on naming files based on the hash of their contents for quick lookup, deduplication, and avoiding name clashes. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage
