# Google Cloud Storage credentials

The **Google Cloud Storage connector** requires specific credentials, which are uploaded in **Setup** → **Credentials**. 

To **upload the Google Cloud Storage Credential**, click the **New** button and fill in these fields:

1. **Name** and **Description**: assign a name and a description to the Credential you are adding. If needed, the name and description can be edited at a later stage.
2. **Credential Type**: select **Secret File**. This field cannot be edited at a later stage.
3. When the **UPLOAD** button appears, browse your file system and import the .json file with the credentials. The .json file is a Service Account Secret file key downloaded from the GCP Console.
4. Click the **Save** button to confirm.

The credentials saved in this section will be listed in the **Credential** drop-down menu when creating a Client Connection to a Google Storage Service and when creating a storage class on Google Storage.

On the **Setup** → **Credentials** page, existing credentials can be sorted in the **Filters** panel on the right of the page. Insert the Credential Name and/or select the Credential Type and click on the **APPLY** button to filter results
