# Google Cloud Storage destination

> This page explains how to set up a Google Cloud Storage destination.

[Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage) is a scalable, secure, and durable object storage service for unstructured data.

To configure a Google Cloud Storage destination:

1. In Google Cloud Storage, create a service account. For more information, see the [Google documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials#create_a_service_account).
2. Create credentials for the service account in JSON format. For more information, see the [Google documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials#create_credentials_for_a_service_account).
3. In Axiom, create a Google Cloud Storage destination. For more information, see [Manage destinations](/process-data/destinations/manage-destinations).
4. Configure the following:
   * In **Bucket**, enter the bucket name. For more information on retrieving bucket metadata in Google Cloud Storage, see the [Google documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/getting-bucket-metadata).
   * In **Credentials JSON**, enter the credentials you have previously created for the service account.
   * Optional: In **Format**, specify the format in which Axiom sends data to the destination.
