This topic describes how to connect to Google Cloud Storage (GCS) from Domino. You must have network connectivity between GCS and your Domino deployment.
The easiest way to connect to a GCS instance from Domino is to create a Domino Data Source as described below.
- 
From the navigation pane, click Data. 
- 
Click Create a Data Source. 
- 
In the New Data Source window, from Select Data Store, select Google Cloud Storage.  
- 
Enter the name of the Bucket. 
- 
Enter the Data Source Name. NoteAlthough Google Cloud allows storage bucket names that include underscores, Domino only allows lowercase letters, numbers, periods, and hyphens. 
- 
Optional: Enter a Description to explain the purpose of the Data Source to others. 
- 
Click Next. 
- 
Copy the Private Key (JSON format). See creating a service account for instructions about creating a service account and downloading the JSON credentials file. You must copy the entire content of the file. The Domino secret store backed by HashiCorp Vault securely stores the credentials. 
- 
Click Test Credentials. 
- 
If the Data Source authenticates, click Next. 
- 
Select who can view and use the Data Source in projects. 
- 
Click Finish Setup. 
- 
After connecting to your Data Source, learn how to Use Data Sources. 
- 
Share this Data Source with your collaborators.
