Google Cloud Storage

Add a Google Cloud Storage Connection

Create a new Connection and choose Google Cloud Storage 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 a unique identifier for your Google Cloud project, which is used to group resources like Cloud Storage buckets, and you must specify it to identify which project's resources Mover is interacting 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.

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.

Google Cloud Storage 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 .

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.
