### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. In the past, Arrow binaries on CRAN had S3 and GCS support by default. This changed a few major versions ago and the current and last few releases have S3 enabled but not GCS. The [cloud storage](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/fs.html) vignette still claims GCS is enabled by default: > Before you start, make sure that your arrow install has support for S3 and/or GCS enabled. For most users this will be true by default, because the Windows and macOS binary packages hosted on CRAN include S3 and GCS support.
