# Google Cloud Storage

Before you can use Google Cloud Storage, you need to set it up properly. Follow the steps below to integrate GC Storage with Jet.

### Get Google Cloud credentials

In the Cloud Console, go to the [Create service account key](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/serviceaccountkey) page and select the required project then follow the steps:

1. Hit **Create Service Account**
2. In the **Service account name** field, enter a name
3. From the **Role** list, select **Project** > **Owner**

Now you have to export the JSON key to integrate Google Storage with Jet:

### Integrate Google Cloud Storage with Jet

Select GC Storage from the list of available storage options and paste the service token generated for your service account.

Here's an example of JSON Service Key obtained from Google Cloud Console.

```javascript
{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "{project_id}",
  "private_key_id": "{private_key_id}",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\{private_key}\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "{client_email}",
  "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": "{client_x509_cert_url}"
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/user-guide/files-and-storage/connect-external-storage/google-cloud-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
