Google Cloud

You can integrate your existing Google Cloud Storage to imagemash.io. You don't need to fully migrate to IM Cloud Storage. Imagemash can connect to your existing storage to deliver files at your service.

This guide will walk you through how to connect Google Cloud Storage to imagemash.io.

Step 1: Acquiring your access key

We need to acquire a Key for your storage. If you have a key, you can skip to the next steps.

1. Go to Google Cloud Storage https://console.cloud.google.com/storage

2. Go to Settings from left menu

3. Navigate to INTEROPERABILITY tab

4. At the top, make sure Request endpoint is https://storage.googleapis.com

5. Scroll to bottom and find field named "Access keys for your user account"

6. Create a key, copy it in a temporary place.

7. We got your key, you can proceed to the next steps.

Step 2: Adding External Storage

1. Go to imagemash.io Dashboard->Sources->Google Cloud https://imagemash.io/dashboard/sources/gCloud

2. Fill in the credentials and click the Check Connection & Save button.

3. If the credentials are correct, your source will be added. You should be able to see it in the My Sources menu.

4. If it gives an error, please double-check your credentials. Feel free to contact us if you need help.

Step 3: Access your files

1. Let's assume your CDN Delivery Link is john.imagemash.io

2. Let's assume you have a file logo.png in the folder logos which exists in your external storage.

3. You can access your image from: https://john.imagemash.io/logos/logo.png

You can arrange the order of your external sources in your dashboard.

The order of your external sources matters. If you have exact same file path in your other storage which is on top of others, the image will be fetched from this storage.
