View your Google Cloud Storage buckets

05/12/2023 Contributors

After you install a Connector in Google Cloud, BlueXP can automatically discover information about the Google Cloud Storage buckets that reside in the Google account where the Connector is installed. A Google Cloud Storage working environment is added to the Canvas so you can view this information.

You can see details about your Google Cloud Storage buckets, including the location, access status, storage class, total and used capacity, and more. These buckets can be used as destinations for BlueXP backup and recovery, BlueXP tiering, or BlueXP copy and sync operations.

Steps

Install a Connector in the Google account where you want to view your Google Cloud Storage buckets.
From the navigation menu, select Storage > Canvas.

You should automatically see a Google Cloud Storage working environment shortly after.
Select the working environment and select an action from the right pane if you want to enable BlueXP services with your Google Cloud Storage.

See which BlueXP services are available and learn how to use them with your Google Cloud Storage buckets.
Select Enter Working Environment, or double-click the working environment, to view details about the buckets in your Google account.

In addition to the columns that appear by default, you can scroll the page to view additional properties for the bucket; for example, the number of Labels, and the type of encryption that has been enabled.
