How to Create Secure Google Cloud Credentials

To create secure credentials for Google Cloud Storage, follow these steps. You can also watch the embedded video for a walkthrough.

  • Create a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
  • Create credentials with write-only access to the bucket.

Step 1: Creating a Bucket

  1. Open the Storage Browser in Google Cloud.
  2. Click Create Bucket.
  3. Set up the bucket with your desired settings.

Step 2: Creating Credentials

  1. Go to Storage Settings.
  2. Select your project, then go to Interoperability.
  3. Click Create a Key for a service account.
  4. Click Create a New Account.
  5. Enter a name for the account, then grant it the Storage Object Creator permission.
    • This permission allows writing objects to the bucket but prevents listing or downloading objects.
  6. Complete the account creation process, and copy the Access Key and Secret Key.

Ready to Go

Once complete, you'll have:

  1. The Access Key.
  2. The Secret Key.
  3. The Bucket Name.

These credentials will enable secure write-only access to your Google Cloud Storage bucket.
