For Rails > 5.2, Active Storage is available. The docs are a great place to start with.

In config/environments/production.rb :

# Store files on Google cloud storage.
config.active_storage.service = :google

In config/storage.yml :

google:
  service: GCS
  credentials: <%= Rails.root.join("path/to/keyfile.json") %>
  project: ""
  bucket: ""

In your User Model :

class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_one_attached :avatar
end
