  6. Click on Connect. A browser window will open to allow Google Cloud to check whether you want to allow FileZilla Pro to access your files.
  7. Click on Allow.
  8. Return to FileZilla Pro.

Your Google Cloud project directories and files will be displayed in the Remote directories section of the main window.

You can now transfer files between your local machine and your Google Cloud account.
