How to Set Up Google Cloud Connections

Google Cloud Platform offers cloud computing services for businesses and developers. If you are looking
for Google cloud storage service for personal files and collaboration, please check Setting up Google Drive Connections.

This feature is only available on FileZilla Pro, if you didn’t buy it yet you can buy FileZilla Pro from our Store.

Below you find a step by step guide, if you prefer you can watch our How to Upload Files to Google Cloud video tutorial.

To connect to Google Cloud, make sure you have the following:

• A Google Cloud account
• The project ID for the bucket(s) you need to access
• An email account with permission to access the project and bucket(s)

If you already have your Google Cloud project ID, skip the next topic and go to How to connect to Google Cloud.

Note: If you have multiple projects in Google Cloud that you want to access through FileZilla Pro, you’ll need to create a new site for each in the Site Manager.

How to get your Google Cloud project ID

1. Open an internet browser window and go to https://console.cloud.google.com.
2. Log in as you usually would.
   Your Google Cloud dashboard should look something like this:
