In this case, go to the <strong>Setup</strong> → <strong>Untrusted Cache</strong> → <strong>Certificates</strong> tab and trust the 3 Google certificates that are listed. If you now test again the connection and you see the same error message, the trust anchor file (or root file) is missing. This file must be asked to the Administrators of the Google Storage site. The file must be imported into the <strong>Setup</strong> → <strong>Trust Store</strong> → <strong>Certificates</strong> tab and clicking the <strong>Import</strong> button.<br>Information on how to trust and import certificates is available in the relevant sections of this documentation.</td></tr></tbody></table>
