# Setup

Before using any of the Cloud services, we need to configure them in the [Essential Kit Settings](https://assetstore.essentialkit.voxelbusters.com/v2/overview/settings) under cloud services.

## :white\_check\_mark:Enable Feature

Open [Essential Kit Settings](https://assetstore.essentialkit.voxelbusters.com/v2/overview/settings) and enable Cloud Services feature in the inspector.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are NOT planning to use Game Services along with Cloud Services, you still need to fill the **Play Services Application Id** entry in Game Services settings (and can  disable it).\
\
This is because, on Android, Cloud services is internally dependent on Google play services.

Enabling Synchronize on load, on Android, may open google play services login if user isn't logged at-least once. So, it's good to call first **Synchronize** call as per your game requirements.
