Google Cloud Storage also known as GCP Storage is the Google Cloud object storage or blob storage concept for storing files and other objects in the cloud.
DLH.io provides this connector as a direct way to work with data and files both as source and as target (i.e.: backup) conduits.
GCP Storage is mainly used for synchronizing data into BigQuery but can also be used for other general synchronization data flows and pipelines.
FAQs & Troubleshooting
Why am I getting a storage.buckets.get error?
This issue is due to how dlh.io needs to retrieve file information from your bucket. If you see an error message containing this warning or error, it means that you need to update your permissions for the Service Account and/or the dlh.io user shown in the connection to have either the Storage Admin role granted or create a custom role in your GCP project with this permission. See this Serverfault.com answer for some general direction, if needed.

DLH.io runs a test when you create this GCP Storage source connector which lists the files in the bucket and some other steps to ensure that DLH.io can act as the conduit to work with your bucket. If any portion of the test fails a notification o the permission issue should appear in the logs, alerts, or in the page when the test is conducted.
