GCS buckets

It takes <1 minute to connect a GCS bucket. Click Add data on the top right, select Google Cloud Storage (GCS) and follow the instructions.

A GCS connection is only available to the Teamspace; this is to give you the ability to isolate your data as needed. You can now access it within any studio.

Feel free to connect multiple GCS buckets. There is no size limit to how much data you can connect.

Private buckets

If a bucket is private, you will need to take additional steps to authorize it. Lightning AI will automatically prompt you with the instructions you need. In short, it asks you to add a policy to your bucket.

Enterprise buckets

For enterprise customers, we normally work with the internal team to pre-authorize a wide-range of buckets to keep in line with your organization's security requirements. Please get in touch for more information.

Supported file types

We built the Drive for high-performance AI workflows (model training, serving, data prep, etc...). Thus all file types are supported.
