​
Create and use a bucket

In the Google Cloud console, open Cloud Storage > Buckets and choose Create. Choose a globally unique name and explicitly select the location, storage class, access, protection, and retention settings that fit your needs. A bucket name cannot be changed after creation. Open the bucket to upload, download, organize, or delete objects. To remove a bucket, first remove the objects it contains and confirm the intended project and location.

​
Change settings and manage objects

Open the bucket in the Cloud Storage console to manage its access, protection, lifecycle, labels, and other supported settings. A bucket’s name and location cannot be changed after creation; create a new bucket and move data if those need to change. From the Objects view, upload, download, organize, replace, or delete objects. Review retention and versioning settings before changing or deleting data. See the Google Cloud guides for the Cloud Storage console, creating buckets, deleting objects, and deleting buckets.

Use it with Merops

Connect this provider with the Merops connection guide. Merops currently supports object storage operations across its connected providers. The provider console remains the place to configure provider-specific settings and to carry out management actions that Merops does not expose. Before deleting a bucket or object, verify the account, region, and target. Some deletions are permanent or remove all contained data.
