Overview
The Google Cloud Storage connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Google Cloud Storage service and other cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is creating the Google Cloud Storage connection by providing the information required for DryvIQ to connect to the service.
Creating connection | User Interface
Select Connections > Add connection.
Select Google Cloud Storage as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Select Sign in with Google Cloud Storage.
On the Sign in with Google modal, enter the Email and Password required to log in to the Google account and select Next.
Select Continue when prompted to grant access to the Google account.
You will see a "Connection test succeeded" message on the Add connection modal when DryvIQ establishes the connection. (If you don't see this message, verify the entered information.)
Select Done.

Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the account owner's name. For example, Box (John Doe). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name. | Optional |

Use the system default client credentials | Select this option to use the default DryvIQ client application. |
