Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Activities

Recently, I needed to create an automation that required uploading JSON and PDF files to Google Cloud buckets. Sounds simple, right? Well, it wasn’t. I ran into a very strange problem: whenever I tried to select the activities below, Studio would crash completely and never recover. The only way to fix this was to end the process in Task Manager.

Working with these activities was honestly a pain. In the end, I managed to get them to work, but only after a lot of effort, saving the project after each step or click just to avoid losing progress.

Has anyone else faced the same issue? If so, is there a way to solve it?

Hi @lucxscrds,

Update to latest stable package (3.8.0+), restart Studio, and insert activities in a new blank process—save after each drag/drop.

Manage Packages > Official > UiPath.GSuite.

Activities → Update/Install latest.

New process → Drag “Google Cloud Scope” first (set service account JSON).

Add Get Bucket/Upload Object—hardcode bucket initially.

Run Studio as Admin if crashes persist.

Hi @arjun.shiroya,

Thank you for your response.

GCP Activities are part of the UiPath.GoogleCloud.Activities.GCPScope package, which is already updated to the latest version (see screenshots below).

Could you confirm if we are referring to the same issue?

Hi! Same issue with UiPath.GoogleCloud.Activities.GCPScope - designer crashes on Get Bucket/Upload Object.

Fix:

Run Studio as Administrator (Right-click → “Run as administrator”)

Create New Blank Process → Drag GCPScope FIRST (add service account JSON)

Ctrl+S after each activity before typing expressions

This bypasses designer validation timeouts causing the crash. Works reliably on Studio 2025.10+.

Test it and share your Studio version if still having issues!

This was also the approach I found to resolve the issue.

However, running Studio as an administrator can be challenging for users working in corporate environments due to permission restrictions.

I believe that using only Ctrl+S after each activity before typing expressions could serve as a temporary workaround for users in restricted environments.

Hi @lucxscrds

Can you create a new Process and install the package from scratch?

I also don’t see System.Activities and other default packages installed this might be causing the errors.

Thanks,
