# Google Cloud Storage

If your images are stored in a bucket named **mysamplebucket** and you can access **image.jpg** at the following URL:

//[www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/](http://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/)**mysamplebucket**/o/**image.jpg**

You should enter the data as follows:

All aliases have to be prefixed *and* suffixed by underscores. Please note that all aliases have to be unique for your account - aliases set in the storage sections cannot be used in the [alias](https://docs.cloudimage.io/go/cloudimage-documentation-v7/en/domains-urls/aliases) section.

Your storage bucket is now accessible by using the alias entered in the *Cloudimage Alias* field:

//your-token.cloudimg.io/**\_\_googlecloud\_\_**/**image.jpg**

If your Google Cloud bucket requires authentication:

* You need to generate an Authentication JSON file using the guide in the Google Cloud documentation - <https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started>
* You will be provided with a JSON file to be saved on your computer
* Copy the contents of this file and paste it into the field that appears after pressing "AUTH KEY" in the storage settings
