Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

the thing that gets me is that said dev tried it first with amazon S3 and it worked infinitely better there

Probably a bit more expensive though, depending how much storage you need.
