Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage accepts S3-style requests through its interoperability API using HMAC keys. Create the key on a service account rather than your personal account so you can revoke it without touching your login.

  • Access key and secret
  • Bucket name
  • Region auto

Steps

  1. In the Google Cloud console, pick or create a project and open Cloud Storage. Create a bucket and note its location.
  2. Open IAM & Admin, then Service Accounts, and create a service account for Allmount.
  3. Back in the bucket, open Permissions and grant the service account the Storage Object Admin role on that bucket.
  4. In Cloud Storage, open Settings and look for the Interoperability tab.
  5. Under service account HMAC keys, choose Create a key for a service account and pick the account you made.
  6. Copy the Access key and Secret. The secret is shown once.

Next: open Allmount and pick Google Cloud Storage. If something does not work, see troubleshooting.
