With Google Cloud Storage modules in Make, you can manage the buckets and objects in your Google Cloud Storage account.

To use the Google Cloud Storage modules, you must have a Google account, and a Google Cloud Storage project created in your [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome?pli=1\&project=storied-scarab-310722). You can create an account at [accounts.google.com](https://accounts.google.com/signup/v2/createaccount?hl=en\&flowName=GlifWebSignIn\&flowEntry=SignUp\&theme=glif). You need to add Make as an authorized data source in Google Cloud Storage.

Refer to the [Google Cloud Storage API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/apis) for a list of available endpoints.

:::hint{type="info"}
Make's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to [Google API Services User Data Policy](https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy).

## Connect Google Cloud Storage to Make

To establish the connection, you must:

1. [Create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project for Google Cloud Storage.](docId\:nbW04jKDpAH1trNDSJyGh)
2. [Establish the connection with Google Cloud Storage in Make.](docId\:nbW04jKDpAH1trNDSJyGh)

### Create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project for Google Cloud Storage

Before you establish the connection in Make, you must create and configure a project in the Google Cloud Platform to obtain your client credentials.

### Create a Google Cloud Platform project for Google Cloud Storage

To create a Google Cloud Platform project:

1. Log in to the [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/) using your Google credentials.
2. On the welcome page, click **Create or select a project** > **New project**.
3. Enter a **Project name** and select the **Location** for your project.
4. Click **Create**.
5. In the top menu, check if your new project is selected in the **Select a project** dropdown. If not, select the project you just created.

:::hint{type="info"}
To create a new project or work in the existing one, you need to have the `serviceusage.services.enable` permission. If you don’t have this permission, ask the Google Cloud Platform Project Owner or Project IAM Admin to grant it to you.

### Enable APIs for Google Cloud Platform

To enable the required APIs:

1. Open the left navigation menu and go to **APIs & Services** > **Library**.
2. Search for the following APIs: **Cloud Resource Manager API**, **Cloud Pub/Sub API** (only for the Watch Objects module).
3. Click the relevant API, then click **Enable**.

### Configure your OAuth consent screen for Google Cloud Platform

To configure your OAuth consent screen:

1. In the left sidebar, click **Google Auth Platform**.
2. Click **Get Started**.
3. In the **Overview** section, under **App information**, enter *Make* as the app name and provide your Gmail address. Click **Next**.
4. Under **Audience**, select **External**.
5. For more information regarding user types, refer to [Google's Exceptions to verification requirements documentation](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/9110914#exceptions-ver-reqts).
6. Under **Contact Information**, enter your Gmail address.
7. Under **Finish**, agree to the Google User Data Policy.
8. Click **Continue** > **Create**.
9. Click **Create OAuth Client**.
10. In the **Branding** section, under **Authorized domains**, add `make.com` and `integromat.com`. Click **Save**.
11. Optional: In the **Audience** section, add your Gmail address on the **Test users** page, then click **Save and continue** if you want the project to remain in the **Testing** publishing status.
12. In the **Data Access** section, click **Add or remove scopes**, add the following scopes, and click **Update > Save.**
    - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write`
    - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control`
    - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_only`
    - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.read-only`
    - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform`

You can add scopes using:

- A table with filters:

:::hint{type="info"}
**Publishing Status**

**Testing:** If you keep your project in the **Testing** status, you will be required to reauthorize your connection in Make every week. To avoid weekly reauthorization, update the project status to **In production**.

**In production:** If you update your project to the **In production** status, you will not be required to reauthorize the connection weekly. To update your project's status, go to the **Google Auth Platform**, the **Audience** section, and click **Publish app**. If you see the notice **Needs verification**, you can choose whether to go through the [Google verification process](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/13463073?authuser=1\&visit_id=638718595933013017-1855034908\&rd=1) for the app or to connect to your unverified app. Currently connecting to unverified apps works in Make, but we cannot guarantee the Google will allow connections to unverified apps for an indefinite period.

For more information regarding the publishing status, refer to the Publishing status section of [Google's Setting up your OAuth consent screen help](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/10311615#zippy=).

### Create your Google Cloud Storage client credentials

To create your client credentials:

1. In Google Auth Platform, click **Clients**.
2. Click **+ Create Client**.
3. In the **Application type** dropdown, select **Web application**.
4. Update the **Name** of your OAuth client. This will help you identify it in the platform.
5. In the **Authorized redirect URIs** section, click **+ Add URI** and enter the following redirect URI: `https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/google-custom`.
6. Click **Create**.
7. Click the OAuth 2.0 Client you created, copy your **Client ID** and **Client secret** values, and store them in a safe place.

You will use these values in the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** fields in Make.

### Establish the connection with Google Cloud Storage in Make

To establish the connection in Make:

1. Log in to your Make account, add a Google Cloud Storage module to your Make, and click **Create a connection**.
2. Note: If you add a module with an `instant` tag, click **Create a webhook**, then **Create a connection**.
3. Optional: In the **Connection name** field, enter a name for the connection.
4. In the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** fields, enter the values you copied in the [Create your Google Cloud Storage client credentials section](docId\:nbW04jKDpAH1trNDSJyGh) above.
5. Optional: Switch on the **Show advanced settings** toggle and add the needed scopes.
6. Click **Sign in with Google**.
7. If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your Make and add more Google Cloud Storage modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps [here](docId\:SO88FM6pkT0G-adKDDfzZ).

## Build Google Cloud Storage Make

After connecting the app, you can perform the following actions:

Buckets

- Create a Bucket
- Note: Refer to [Google documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/buckets#naming) to learn more about buckets name.
- In the **Labels** field, specify key-value metadata pairs that allow you to group your buckets along with other Google Cloud resources such as [virtual machine instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances) and [persistent disks](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks#pdspecs). For example, you can use labels to create a team key that has values `alpha`, `beta`, and `delta`, and apply the `team:alpha`, `team:beta`, and `team:delta` labels to different buckets in order to indicate which team is associated with those buckets. You can create a maximum of 64 labels.
- In the **Predefined ACL** field, select a predefined set of access controls for this bucket:
