I saw another post about this from '14 - but no answer and it seemed like they were making this harder than it should be…

I would like some pointers to see if there is an AWS endpoint configuration within app.yml which could be changed to allow use of google cloud storage instead of s3 - GCS has a compatability mode where all - as I understand it - would need to happen is to change the AWS endpoint:

> **[Fully migrate from Amazon S3 to Cloud Storage  |  Google Cloud Documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/migrating)**

> In your existing tools or libraries, make the following changes:  
> Change the request endpoint to use the Google Cloud Storage request endpoint.  
> Replace the Amazon Web Services (AWS) access and secret key with the corresponding Google Cloud Storage access key and secret key (collectively called your Google developer key).

This could be added as an option under /admin/site\_settings/category/files and option for AWS endpoint along with the access keys? or can it be done in the app.yml? [AWS\_ENDPOINT = “/xxxx/xxx”] already?

Thanks!
