Google Cloud Storage

Connect a Google Cloud Storage bucket to Autorender and transform your GCS-hosted assets in place.

Connecting a GCS source lets Autorender read objects straight from your Google Cloud Storage bucket and deliver them transformed. Authentication uses a service account key you paste in full.

Add your source to Autorender

In the dashboard, open Sources, click Connect, and choose Google Cloud Storage. See Connect a source for the full walkthrough. Then fill in the fields below.

Field mapping

Each field on the Autorender form maps to a value from your Google Cloud Console:

Google Cloud value	Autorender field	Example
Bucket name	Bucket Name	acme-assets
Service account key file (JSON)	Service Account JSON	The full JSON key file contents (a single JSON object, roughly 20 lines)
—	Origin Name	acme-assets

The Origin Name is your own label for the source and becomes part of every delivery URL: https://assets.autorender.io/{workspace}-{origin}/{file_path}.

Paste the full contents of the JSON key file into Service Account JSON, not the file path and not the download URL. Paste everything from the opening brace to the closing brace, including the private key.

Where to find each value

1. Copy the bucket name from the Cloud Storage browser.

   Open Cloud Storage in the Google Cloud Console and copy the bucket’s name from the list (e.g. acme-assets).

2. Create a read-only service account.

   Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts and create an account (e.g. autorender-read-only). Grant it the Storage Object Viewer role on this bucket only, so a leaked key can reach nothing else.

3. Create a JSON key for that service account.

   On the account’s Keys tab, click Add Key → Create new key → JSON. The file downloads once.

   Google downloads the JSON key a single time and cannot re-issue it. Keep your copy — Autorender encrypts it on submission and never displays it again.

4. Paste the entire file into Service Account JSON.

   Open the downloaded file and paste its full contents into the field.

   Paste the JSON contents, not the file path — the entire object from the downloaded key file.
