Hi.

I just want give update. We will able setup backup using GCS now. I post [on other thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-google-cloud-storage-instead-of-s3/40046/4) too. I hope it will help other people who painful search this solution.

How to do that?  
Enable default config for backup(or you can setting form admin dashboard).

```plaintext
DISCOURSE_S3_BACKUP_BUCKET: falcoland-files/backup
DISCOURSE_BACKUP_LOCATION: s3

```

Then set bucket permission as `Storage Legacy Object Owner`:

1. Go to your project in Google Cloud Console
2. Select Storage
3. Select your bucket
4. Go to the permissions tab
5. Add new permission, fill your service account email with your account. for roles, select `Storage Legacy Object Owner`
6. Save and done.

Sorry for double post, I just want share this good update.  
Thank you
