Connect to a Google Cloud storage
note
The procedure covers both basic cases of creating a data source:
For a notebook
You want to create a Google Cloud storage connection for a specific notebook you are working in right now. This will automatically attach the new connection to the notebook, which enables you to immediately work with its data in your code.
For a workspace
You have a Google Cloud storage that you want to connect to one of your workspaces. As a workspace resource, you can later attach this data source to any notebook from the respective workspace.
In both cases, you will use Datalore's New cloud storage connection dialog, and the only difference between the two scenarios is accessing this interface.
Open the New cloud storage connection dialog. The step depends on whether you want to add a new data source to workspace resources or attach it to a notebook.
