+Cloud Storage
+=============
+
+The cloud storage integration allows to store :doc:`chatter <../../productivity/discuss/chatter>`
+and email attachments on the :ref:`Google Cloud <cloud-storage/google>` or :ref:`Microsoft Azure
+<cloud-storage/microsoft>` platform instead of the database's server.
+
+The module can be used to prevent large files from being uploaded to and downloaded from a
+database's server or when a database requires more data storage.
+
+.. note::
+   - Files generated by Odoo (e.g., sales orders) and Documents/Sign app files are always stored on
+     the database's server.
+   - A database's storage limit depends on its hosting solution:
+
+     - Odoo Online: 100 GB
+     - Odoo.sh:
+
+       - Shared hosting: 512 GB
+       - Dedicated hosting: 4 TB
+
+     - On-premise: limited by the infrastructure in place.

+Cloud storage bucket
+--------------------
+
+#. Open the navigation sidebar on the Google Cloud console, then go to :menuselection:`Cloud
+   Storage --> Buckets --> Create`.
+#. Enter a bucket name following the `bucket naming guidelines <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/buckets?_gl=1*h4hwrv*_ga*MTcwNDM2NDE1Ny4xNzQzNzUxOTEy*_ga_WH2QY8WWF5*MTc0Mzc2NDMyOS4zLjEuMTc0Mzc2NDMyOS42MC4wLjA.#naming>`_

+
+.. _cloud-storage/google/odoo:
+
+Odoo configuration
+------------------
+
+#. :ref:`Install <general/install>` the :guilabel:`Cloud Storage Google` module.
+#. Open the :guilabel:`Settings` app and select :guilabel:`Cloud Storage` in the navigation sidebar.
+#. Select :guilabel:`Google Cloud Storage` as the :guilabel:`Cloud Storage Provider for new
+   attachments`.
+#. Enter the :guilabel:`Google Bucket Name` as :ref:`previously set <cloud-storage/google/bucket>`.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Upload your file` next to :guilabel:`Google Service Account Key` and select the
+   :ref:`downloaded JSON file <cloud-storage/google/service>`.
+#. Set a :guilabel:`Minimum File Size (bytes)` for attachments to be stored on Google Cloud.
+
+.. _cloud-storage/microsoft:
+
+Microsoft Azure
+===============
+
+First, register and sign it to `Microsoft Azure <https://azure.microsoft.com>`_.
+
+.. _cloud-storage/microsoft/app:
+
+App registration
+----------------
+
+#. On the Microsoft Azure portal, search for the :guilabel:`App registrations` service and open it.
+#. Click :guilabel:`New registration`, enter an application :guilabel:`Name`, select
+   :guilabel:`Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant -
+   Multitenant)` under :guilabel:`Supported account types`, and click :guilabel:`Register`.
+
+   .. image:: cloud_storage/app-registration.png
+      :alt: Registering a Microsoft Azure app
+
+#. Note down the :guilabel:`Application (client) ID` and :guilabel:`Directory (tenant) ID` as they
+   will be used when :ref:`configuring Odoo <cloud-storage/microsoft/odoo>`.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Add a certificate or secret` next to :guilabel:`Client credentials`, click
+   :guilabel:`New client secret`, then :guilabel:`Add`.
+
+.. important::
+   For security reasons, leave the :guilabel:`Expires` field on `180 days (6 months)` or choose a
+   shorter expiration interval. Before the secret expires, adding a new client secret and updating
+   :ref:`Odoo’s configuration <cloud-storage/microsoft/odoo>` with the new value is necessary.
+
+#. Copy the client secret's :guilabel:`Value` and store it securely. It will be used when
+   :ref:`configuring Odoo <cloud-storage/microsoft/odoo>`.
+
+   .. image:: cloud_storage/app-client-secret.png

+   :guilabel:`Create`.
+

+.. _cloud-storage/microsoft/container:
+
+Container
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Open your storage account resource, for example by searching for its name, and select
+   :guilabel:`Containers` under :guilabel:`Data storage` in the navigation sidebar.
+#. Enter a :guilabel:`Name`, note it down as it will be used when :ref:`configuring Odoo
+   <cloud-storage/microsoft/odoo>`, and click :guilabel:`Create`.

+      :alt: Creating a Microsoft Azure storage container
+
+.. _cloud-storage/microsoft/resource:
+
+Resource sharing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Select :guilabel:`Resource sharing (CORS)` under :guilabel:`Settings` on the storage account's
+   navigation sidebar.
+#. Create a first CORS blob service rule:
+
+   - :guilabel:`Allowed origins`: `*`
+   - :guilabel:`Allowed methods`: `GET`
+   - :guilabel:`Allowed headers`: `Content-Type`
+   - :guilabel:`Exposed headers`: `Content-Type`

+.. _cloud-storage/microsoft/role:
+
+Role assignment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. Select :guilabel:`Access control (IAM)` on the storage account's navigation sidebar, then click
+   :guilabel:`Add` and select :guilabel:`Add role assignment`.
+#. Search for :guilabel:`Storage Blobs Data Contributor` and click :guilabel:`Next`.
+
+   .. note::
+      To remove the unnecessary `delete` permission, create a :ref:`custom role
+      <cloud-storage/microsoft/custom>` and search for the custom role's name instead.
+
+#. Click :guilabel:`Select members`, enter the name of the :ref:`previously registered application
+   <cloud-storage/microsoft/app>`, select it, and click :guilabel:`Select`.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Review + assign` twice.

+
+Custom role
+***********
+
+.. note::
+   This step is **optional**. However, removing the `delete` permission would prevent anyone
+   managing to access the cloud storage's credentials from deleting files.
+
+#. Open your subscription resource, for example by searching for its name, select :guilabel:`Access
+   control (IAM)` in the navigation sidebar, click :guilabel:`Add` and select :guilabel:`Add custom
+   role`.
+#. Select the :guilabel:`JSON` tab and click :guilabel:`Edit`. Copy the code below, add your
+   `subscription-id` under `assignableScopes` and change the `roleName` (`Custom role`) if desired,
+   paste it, and click :guilabel:`Save`.
