## The brief

Google says the latest Cloud Storage SDKs now enable end-to-end upload checksumming by default, reducing extra work previously required from application developers. The SDKs calculate and send checksums when applications do not supply them, and support verification during downloads. Range reads through the gRPC API also receive integrity checks. Google recommends updating clients to use these protections against accidental data corruption.
