Cloud Shell offers 5 GB of free storage that persists in new sessions. This is helpful if you if you have customized configuration and settings files that you prefer to work with (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc.). To take advantage of this persistent storage, simply save files to your $HOME directory. Any applications you wish to install can persist as long as the application is installed in the $HOME directory. If you don’t need an app to persist, install it to the system outside of your home directory. Other apps and files that you create remain as long as the current session is active. The session times out after an hour of inactivity and any data outside of your $HOME directory will be lost. [source]
