# Google Cloud Storage

## Add a <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> Connection

Create a new Connection and choose <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> for the connection type.

Provide a *Connection Label* so you can identify the connection in a list. This is especially important if you need more than one connection of the same type.

### Bucket Details

Enter the name of the bucket to use for the connection.

The Project ID is the unique identifier for your Google Cloud project. Mover uses it to identify which project's resources to interact with.

### Credentials

To securely connect Mover to your bucket, provide the JSON credentials from your service account. The JSON credentials must include the access key and other required authentication details. This JSON object is generated when you create a service account key in the Google Cloud Console. To learn more, see [Google's documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/how-tos/authorizing#APIKey).

### Advanced Settings

If your credentials do not have access to the entire bucket, or are restricted to specific subfolders only, then Mover may not be able to verify connection to the bucket.

When you do not have access to the entire bucket, use the advanced setting for *Can these credentials access the root of this remote or are they restricted to a subfolder?* to specify a subfolder that can be used instead.

## <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> is Case Sensitive

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between connections. Copying items from a system which is not case sensitive to another that is case sensitive could result in 1 item being treated as 2 different ones, such as attempting to overwrite `MyFile.txt` with `myfile.txt` .&#x20;

In the other direction, copying from a case sensitive system to another that is not case sensitive can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case *insensitive* names are a match.
