Using Google or Azure Cloud Storage with Odoo

Running an Odoo business that deals with tons of chatter attachments, emails, or documents? Here’s something cool — you can now store all those bulky files in the cloud instead of slowing down your Odoo database. Think of it like cleaning up your phone storage by moving old photos to Google Drive. 🙌

Let’s say hello to Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Odoo works really well with both.

Why You Should Care 🤔

• Big files won’t slow your Odoo anymore.
• Your database stays lean and fast.
• Need more space? Just add it. Cloud scales like magic.
• It works across all Odoo platforms: Online, Odoo.sh, and even on-premise.

Side note: PDFs from the Documents or Sign apps still stay on the server. Odoo likes to keep some stuff close.

📂 Google Cloud Storage – The Easy Way

1. Make a Service Account
   • Go to Google Cloud Console → IAM & Admin → Service Accounts
   • Give it a name, create it, and download the JSON key (save this, it’s important!)
     
     • 
2. Create a Bucket
   • Go to Cloud Storage → Buckets → Create
   • Set a name and give the service account “Storage Admin” access
   • 
3. Tell Odoo About It
   • Install the Cloud Storage Google module
   • Upload your JSON key, type in the bucket name
   • Done! You can now set a file size limit for what gets stored in the cloud

☁️ Microsoft Azure Blob Storage – A Bit More Steps (But Worth It)

1. Register an App
   • In Azure Portal → App Registrations → New Registration
   • Save the app ID, tenant ID, and client secret
2. Create a Storage Account and a Container
   • Set it up under “Storage accounts” → Create
   • Add a container and note the name
     
3. Permissions & CORS
   • Set up CORS rules (we’ll help you with this)
   • Add role: “Storage Blob Data Contributor” to the app
4. Tell Odoo About It
   • Install the Cloud Storage Azure module
   • Fill in your storage account name, container name, tenant ID, app ID, and secret

Optional: Want tighter security? We can create custom roles that can’t delete files.
