Google apparently does not want to be outdone by rival Amazon Web Services when it comes to cloud storage pricing.

Google announced a 10 percent price cut Thursday to its Cloud Storage services, following a 20 percent reduction on Monday.

The overall 30 percent price cut comes as Google's rival Amazon Web Services unveiled a 25 percent cut in its Amazon Simple Storage Service (AS3) Wednesday at its AWS re: Invent partner conference in Las Vegas.

"We are very committed to delivering the best value in the marketplace to businesses and developers looking to operate in the cloud," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "This price reduction applies to all Cloud Storage regions and the new DRA Storage."
