Authenticate with Google Cloud Storage API
gcs_auth(json_file = NULL, token = NULL, email = NULL)
| json_file | Authentication json file you have downloaded from your Google Project |
|---|---|
| token | An existing auth token you may have by other means |
The email to default authenticate through |
The best way to authenticate is to use an environment argument pointing at your authentication file.
Set the file location of your download Google Project JSON file in a GCS_AUTH_FILE argument
Then, when you load the library you should auto-authenticate
However, you can authenticate directly using this function pointing at your JSON auth file.
