Once installed, it allows you to store and retrieve versioned datasets and models directly in GCS buckets using DVC's standard remote commands, without needing to manage separate cloud storage APIs.\n\nThe plugin sits between DVC and gcsfs (the Google Cloud Storage filesystem library) and handles the protocol translation so that gs:// URLs work seamlessly in your DVC pipelines and remote configuration. It's part of the DVC ecosystem of storage plugins and is actively maintained by Iterative.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use DVC and need GCS as a remote backend. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a straightforward addition to a DVC-based workflow. Install only if you have a GCS bucket and DVC already in use."},"id":"dvc-gs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dvc-gs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dvc-gs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dvc-gs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-09","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dvc-gs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"gs plugin for dvc"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":468115,"position":6493,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1.0"}
