First time installation or upgrade
If you are moving your filestore to GCS in the context of upgrading Artifactory, or a first time installation, we recommend that you first do a standard installation of Artifactory using the default settings, or a standard upgrade using your current settings.
In order to move your Artifactory filestore to the cloud, you need to execute the following steps:
Shut down Artifactory.
Configure Artifactory to use GCS
Start up Artifactory
Configure Artifactory
To configure Artifactory to use a GCS object storage provider, you need to use the Google Storage Binary Provider Native Client Template.
Keep your database settings
Make sure you don't change your database settings in your db.properties file.
