# ![Google Cloud Storage](https://developer.salesforce.com/media/data-cloud-int/icons/GCS.svg '{"class": "image-icon-lg", "title": "Google Cloud Storage Connector"}') Google Cloud Storage Connector

Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is an online file-based storage web service for storing and accessing data on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure. Data 360 reads from your GCS bucket and periodically performs an automated data transfer of active objects to a Data 360-owned staging environment for data consumption. Data records are then imported into Data 360 by way of the staging environment according to the data stream’s specifications or by file notifications for unstructured data.
