Google Cloud Storage Source Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• Google Cloud Platform account with access to Google Cloud Storage
• A Google Cloud Storage bucket
• Admin access to manage bucket permissions

Setup Guide

1. A service account has been automatically generated for your connector
2. Navigate to Cloud Storage > Buckets in the Google Cloud Console
3. Click on your target bucket → Permissions tab → Grant Access
4. Add the service account email: ###@####.gserviceaccount.com
5. Assign the Storage Admin role → Save

Configure the Connector

Common fields for both methods:

• Bucket Name: Your Google Cloud Storage bucket name
• Folder Path (optional): e.g., my-folder/sub-folder
• File Format: JSON, JSONL, or CSV

Supported File Formats

• JSON: JavaScript Object Notation
• JSONL / NDJSON: JSON Lines (newline-delimited JSON)
• CSV: Comma-separated values

Permissions Required

For both authentication methods, the service account needs the following permissions on the Google Cloud Storage bucket:

• storage.objects.create
• storage.objects.delete
• storage.objects.get
• storage.objects.list

These are typically included in the Storage Admin role.
