# Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch Connector

## Intro

Google Cloud Storage is an internet service for storing data in Google's cloud. You can use Domo’s Google Cloud Storage connector to generate reports about project buckets and objects in Google Cloud Storage.

You can connect to your Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus specific to the Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see [Adding a DataSet Using a Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Connector").

## Prerequisites

You need Google credentials to connect to your Google Cloud Storage—FileWatch account and create a DataSet.

## Connecting to Your Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes on the Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch Connector page. The components of the other panes on this page, **Scheduling**, and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in great detail in [Adding a DataSet Using a Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Connector").

## Credentials Pane

You need your Google credentials to connect to the connector.

Once you have entered valid Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch credentials, you can use the same account at any time to create a new Google Cloud Storage - FileWatch DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Manage Connector Accounts](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926054?language=en_US "Manage Connector Accounts").
