Frequently Asked Questions

What is StorageLink?

StorageLink is a secure, browser-based file transfer portal that connects users directly to your private cloud storage.

Instead of requiring an SFTP client or using a third-party file-sharing service, users simply sign in through a web browser and drag and drop files to upload or download them.

SFTP Gateway and StorageLink solve similar file-transfer problems for different users.

SFTP Gateway provides traditional SFTP access to cloud storage and works with standard SFTP clients, scripts, and automated integrations.

StorageLink provides a browser-based interface designed for people who want a simple, visual way to upload and download files without installing or configuring an SFTP client.

Your files remain in the cloud storage locations you configure, including Google Cloud Storage.

StorageLink runs within your own Google Cloud environment and transfers files between your users and cloud storage rather than storing them with a third-party file-sharing provider.

Yes. Each user can be assigned their own home folder and permissions.

Administrators can control whether users can list, upload, download, overwrite, or delete files. Permissions can also be configured for individual folders.

Yes. StorageLink folders can be mapped so multiple users have access to the same cloud storage location.

This makes it easy to create shared folders for teams, customers, vendors, or other groups while keeping private folders separate.

Yes. You can replace the default StorageLink branding with your own logo, favicon, page title, colors, and fonts.

This lets you provide customers and partners with a private file-sharing portal that matches your company’s brand.

Both administrators and web users can sign in using their existing Google credentials instead of maintaining a separate StorageLink username and password.

Yes. StorageLink can use the service account attached to its Google Cloud virtual machine to access Google Cloud Storage.

This avoids the need to maintain separate JSON key files and simplifies credential management and rotation.

Yes. StorageLink also supports Google Cloud service account credentials.

This can be useful when you need more granular bucket permissions, access to storage in another Google Cloud project, or a separate identity specifically for StorageLink.

StorageLink costs $0.08 per hour while the virtual machine is running, plus your underlying Google Cloud infrastructure costs.

A 30-day free trial is included. After the trial ends, software charges are handled through Google Cloud Marketplace.

Deploy StorageLink directly from Google Cloud Marketplace into your Google Cloud project.

Once the virtual machine is running, open the StorageLink web administration interface to create your administrator account, connect Google Cloud Storage, and configure your users and folders.
