Configure the following env variables.
```bash
ACTIVE_STORAGE_SERVICE='amazon'
S3_BUCKET_NAME=
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=

AWS_REGION=
```
### Using Google GCS
Configure the following env variables.
```bash
ACTIVE_STORAGE_SERVICE='google'

### Configure storage
Chatwoot currently supports only S3 bucket as storage. You can read [Creating an S3 bucket](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/gsg/CreatingABucket.html) and [Create an IAM user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html) to configure the following details.
Chatwoot uses [active storage](https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_storage_overview.html) for storing attachments. The default storage option is the local storage on your server.
But you can change it to use any of the cloud providers like amazon s3, microsoft azure and google gcs etc. Refer [configuring cloud storage](./configuring-cloud-storage) for additional environment variables required.
```bash
S3_BUCKET_NAME=
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_REGION=
ACTIVE_STORAGE_SERVICE='local'
```
