• More Information

You can use the Google Cloud Storage connector from the CData Sync application to move data from any supported source to the Google Cloud Storage destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Establish a Connection

To allow Sync to use data from Google Cloud Storage, you first must establish a connection to Google Cloud Storage. Follow these steps to connect Google Cloud Storage to your Sync account:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Google Cloud Storage row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row. If you do not see the Configure Connection icon, you need to add the connector according to the instructions in Connections.

5. Enter connection settings on the Settings tab:

   • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

   • Auth Scheme - Select the authentication scheme. The default setting is OAuth.

   • OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

   • OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

6. Click Connect to GoogleCloudStorageDestination to connect to your Cloud Storage account.

7. Click Create & Test to create the connection.

8. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
