Google Storage connection

This article provides a guide on how to create a Google Storage connection in Upsolver.

Create a Google Storage connection

1. Enter the project ID.

2. Enter the name of your Google Storage bucket.

3. In Credentials JSON, enter in the service account certificate information. To learn more about service accounts, click here.

To obtain the certificate information:

1. Create a service account for your project. See: Creating and managing service accounts

2. Create a corresponding service account key. See: Creating and managing service account keys

Be sure to select JSON as your key type!

Copy-paste the contents of this service account JSON key into the JSON credentials field.

The final JSON format should look as follows:

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": YOUR_PROJECT_ID,
  "private_key_id": YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_ID,
  "private_key": -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----YOUR PRIVATE KEY\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n,
  "client_email": CLIENT_EMAIL"@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
  "client_id": CLIENT_ID,
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/"CLIENT_EMAIL
}

4. (Optional) Enter in the path to your bucket.

Check Read Only for the connection to be read only; Upsolver will not be able to write data to or delete data from the bucket.

5. Finally, name this connection, then click Create.
