Increase disk storage for google cloud shell?

I am trying to use Google Cloud Shell as my development platform as it's free and come with an intensive code editor. But at the same time, I struggle because only 5GB disk storage and only 2 projects loaded. Is there an option to buy storage for cloud shell?

I know i have option to subscribe another VM inside GCP but it doesn't suit me, due to ain't any COOL IDE as i get in Cloud Shell. All i can deal with only vi.

No, You cannot increase the disk size of cloud storage. In fact if you do not use cloud shell for 120 days It will delete your home directory.

See more limitations here

Your second point is an insult to open source community :)

Here is an alternative I can think of:

  1. Setup cloud SDK in your local system
  2. Google Cloud Shell Editor is eclipse's Orion based text editor. You can use eclipse IDE , It will have same shortcut keys and code validation features.
  3. Alternatively , You can use Orion in case you're doing web development

I hope this helped.
