If you already familiar with Google Cloud Services and Tools, like gcloud and/or gsutil, you can also checkout [Google's documentation about CORS](🔗)

Login to your google cloud console: <https://console.cloud.google.com/home>. Click on "Activate Google Cloud Shell" in the upper right corner (see picture below):



At the bottom of your window, a shell terminal will be shown, where gcloud and gsutil are already available. Execute the command shown below. It creates a json-file which is needed to setup the cors-configuration for your bucket. This configuration will allow every domain to access your bucket using XHR-Requests in the browser: `echo '[{"origin": ["*"],"responseHeader": ["Content-Type"],"method": ["GET", "HEAD"],"maxAgeSeconds": 3600}]' > cors-config.json`

If you want to restrict the access one or more specific domains, add their URL to the array, e.g.: `echo '[{"origin": ["https://yourdomain.com"],"responseHeader": ["Content-Type"],"method": ["GET", "HEAD"],"maxAgeSeconds": 3600}]' > cors-config.json`

Replace `YOUR_BUCKET_NAME` with your actual bucket name in the following command to update the cors-settings from your bucket `gsutil cors set cors-config.json gs://YOUR_BUCKET_NAME`

To check if everything worked as expected, you can get the cors-settings of a bucket with the following command: `gsutil cors get gs://YOUR_BUCKET_NAME`
