# Google Storage

## Setup

The following credentials keys are accepted:

* `bucket` **(required)**
* `key_file` **(required)** -> This is the account credential JSON file.

### Using `sling conns`

Here are examples of setting a connection named `GOOGLE_STORAGE`. We must provide the `type=gs` property:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
$ sling conns set GOOGLE_STORAGE type=gs bucket=<bucket> key_file=/path/to/keyfile.json
```

{% endcode %}

### Environment Variable

See [here](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/environment#dot-env-file-.env.sling) to learn more about the `.env.sling` file.

In JSON/YAML format:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
export GOOGLE_STORAGE='{type: gs, bucket: sling-bucket, key_file: /path/to/keyfile.json}'
```

{% endcode %}

### Sling Env File YAML

See [here](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/environment#sling-env-file-env.yaml) to learn more about the sling `env.yaml` file.

```yaml
connections:
  GOOGLE_STORAGE:
    type: gs
    bucket: <bucket>
    key_file: /path/to/keyfile.json
```
