working with Google Cloud Storage without gsutil

I have developed a Software in which is configured directories to save files. I run it on Linux. These directories are informed by config file.

I would like to use compute engine nodes because I need to increase its performance. Therefore, I would like to use Google Storage to save these files into a save repository.

In [1] is showed mounting a bucket as file system. I tried it, but no success. I receive authentication error.

Can anyone help me to get success in order to access my bucket by compute engine nodes ?

Best regards,

Did you run gcloud init on your new instance? - Chris McCauley
Create a service account that has read/write access to GCS, then launch an instance that uses that service account. Test that it works by SSHing to the instance and using gsutil. - jarmod

It sounds like you did not start your GCE instance with a service account.

According to the docs you linked, you need to configure a service account or run gcloud auth login to configure your credentials for accessing cloud storage.

If you are trying to set up gcsfuse without running on GCE you will need to use the gcloud auth login approach.
