Google Cloud storage (GCP)

Google Cloud Storage (GCS)arrow-up-right is a scalable, secure, and highly available cloud storage service offered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is designed to store and manage large amounts of data.

Steps to configure GCS as a Storage alias:

  • Click on the +Add connection button in the GCP section:

  • In the pop-up window submit a request to the Support team. Please provide the following details:

    1. Bucket name - the name of your Google Cloud bucket (the folder within Google Cloud where files are stored).

    2. Alias - the value of the storage alias you would like to use to hide the Google Cloud bucket path behind it.

    3. Auth JSON token (optional)- the authentication token for access to the bucket. It is needed when the bucket is Private.

If your images are in a bucket named mysamplebucket, with access to image.jpg available at the URL //www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/mysamplebucket/image.jpg, then after configuration, the image will be accessible at https://token.filerobot.com/_mysamplebucket_/image.jpg

In case that your Google Cloud bucket requires authentication:

  • You need to generate an Authentication JSON file using the guide in the Google Cloud documentationarrow-up-right

  • You will be provided with JSON file to be saved on your computer

  • Please attach it to your message to the Support team in order to configure the Alias settings.
