  4. Upon clicking the Add button, you will be met with this menu. You will need an access key JSON file from Google Cloud Platform. If you need to generate this file in GCP, continue onto the next steps; otherwise, skip to step #7.

     

  5. First, you must upload your access key JSON file, generated from Google Cloud Platform. To generate this key, navigate to the Service Accounts menu in Google Cloud Platform, find a service account with read/write access to GCP Buckets, and select the three dots to the right of its name. Then, select Manage keys:

  6. At this point, you can generate the access key JSON file by clicking Add key > Create new key > select JSON > click Create. This will download a JSON file to your computer named after the service account and key ID.

  7. In the Intelligent Assets settings menu, upload the access key under Upload JSON file. If the upload is successful, it will show a preview of the filename, like so:

  8. Next, enter the name of the Google Cloud Platform Bucket where you wish to store your data, exactly as it appears in GCP.

  9. (Optional) Provide a label for this bucket, for how it will be referred to elsewhere in Intelligent Assets. By default, the label will be the same as the GCP Bucket name.

    Without entering a custom label, Intelligent Assets will default to the GCP bucket name.

    Otherwise, Intelligent Assets will use the label to refer to this storage location.

     

  10. You are now ready to save the storage location. Click the Done (✓) button in the top-right hand section of the Storage location settings to save your changes.
