# Google Cloud Storage

Trusted publishing using Azure blobs is really quite straightforward.

This page is really just here to point to [the S3 instructions](/topics/how-tos/storage-backends/aws-s3.md) because everything is basically the same. 

You need a `GCS_CREDENTIALS_PATH` environment variable. It points to the location of your service account JSON credentials file. Other than that, there's no additional setup — just use of gs`://` instead of `sftp://` or `s3://` in `config/config.ini` or when you add content with `FileManager` or `PathsManager`. 

Super easy!
