Using CyberDuck and Google Cloud Storage
I have been playing around with Google Cloud Storage today, and I wanted to access Google Cloud Storage by using CyberDuck. For those of you who don’t know about CyberDuck, it truly is an awesome open source storage client that can be used on Mac and Windows to access pretty much anything storage related. Think FTP, S3, WebDAV etc. You can download Cyberduck here.
