Connect a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket to add its spreadsheet, vector, and raster files to maps. Felt streams Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) directly, without processing them. See Supported file types and Stream large rasters.

Connect Google Cloud Storage

A public bucket needs no credentials. For a private bucket, create a service account for Felt first. Then follow the steps in Add a source and select Google Cloud Storage.

In Connection, fill in these fields.

Field	Required	What to enter
GS URI	Yes	The bucket's URI, such as gs://my-storage-bucket/my_prefix. With a prefix, Felt reads only the objects whose names start with it.
Service Account JSON	For private buckets	The JSON key file for the service account you created for Felt.

Optional: In Extract attributes, add regular expressions that turn parts of your file paths, such as a capture date, into attributes you can filter by. See Stream large rasters.

Credentials

Felt reads a private bucket with a Google Cloud service account.

1. In the Google Cloud console, open IAM & Admin > Service accounts and create a service account for Felt.

2. Grant it the Storage Object Viewer role on your project or bucket.

3. In the service account's Keys tab, add a key of type JSON. The key file downloads.

4. In Felt, upload the key file to Service Account JSON.
