+Google Cloud Datastore
+----------------------
+
+`Google Cloud Datastore <https://developers.google.com/datastore/>`__ is
+a fully managed, schemaless database for storing non-relational data.
+Cloud Datastore automatically scales with your users and supports ACID
+transactions, high availability of reads and writes, strong consistency
+for reads and ancestor queries, and eventual consistency for all other
+queries.
+
+See the `Google Cloud Datastore
+docs <https://developers.google.com/datastore/docs/activate>`__ for more
+details on how to activate Cloud Datastore for your project.
+
+See `the gcloud-python API
+documentation <https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-python/datastore-api.html>`__
+to learn how to interact with the Cloud Datastore using this Client
+Library.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from gcloud import datastore
+    dataset = datastore.get_dataset('dataset-id-here',
+                                    '[email protected]',
+                                    '/path/to/private.key')
+    # Then do other things...
+    query = dataset.query().kind('EntityKind')
+    entity = dataset.entity('EntityKind')
+
+Google Cloud Storage
+--------------------
+
+`Google Cloud Storage <https://developers.google.com/storage/>`__ allows
+you to store data on Google infrastructure with very high reliability,
+performance and availability, and can be used to distribute large data
+objects to users via direct download.
 
-Make sure you have ``sphinx`` installed and::
+You need to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket to use this client
+library. Follow the steps on the `Google Cloud Storage
+docs <https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/cloud-console#_creatingbuckets>`__
