Configure Transmit to Access Your GCS Bucket Copy and paste these credentials somewhere safe – preferably a password manager like 1Password. Google Cloud Storage will now present you with an HMAC key pair consisting of an access key and a secret key. In this example, I have selected a service account that only has access to Google Cloud Storage. Select the relevant service account that you’d like to generate the HMAC key for. You should see a popup like the one in the screenshot below. Under Access keys for service accounts, click on Create a key for a service account. Next, click on Settings -> Interoperability. To create an HMAC key, navigate to the Google Cloud Storage dashboard. The HMAC key comes in the form of a key pair (access key and secret key), and effectively acts as a username and password combination in the context of Transmit. ![]() In order to connect to a GCS bucket, Transmit leverages Google Cloud’s Interoperability API, which “allows Google Cloud Storage to interoperate with tools written for other cloud storage systems.” To use the Interoperability API, you’ll need to create a Hash-based Message Authentication Code, or HMAC, key. Unlike traditional SFTP servers, Google Cloud Storage buckets don’t have usernames and passwords. In this post, you’ll learn how to configure Transmit 5 to manage files on your Google Cloud Storage bucket. ![]() Over the years, Transmit for macOS has grown from a simple FTP app to a full-blown file management workhorse that supports external services like Dropbox, Amazon S3, and Backblaze B2, and more.
