GSP073 —— Cloud Storage: Qwik Start - Cloud Console

Table of Contents （🔎 Click to expand／collapse）

Overview

Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data at any time. You can use Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or distributing large data objects to users via direct download. In this hands-on lab you will learn how to use the Cloud Console to create a storage bucket, then upload objects, create folders and subfolders, and make those objects publicly accessible.

Create Buckets

  1. In the Cloud Console, go to Navigation Menu > Cloud Storage > Browser.
  2. Click CREATE BUCKET

There're the Bucket naming rules:

  • Do not include sensitive information in the bucket name, because the bucket namespace is global and publicly visible.
  • Bucket names must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, dashes (-), underscores (_), and dots (.). Names containing dots require verification.
  • Bucket names must start and end with a number or letter.
  • Bucket names must contain 3 to 63 characters. Names containing dots can contain up to 222 characters, but each dot-separated component can be no longer than 63 characters.
  • Bucket names cannot be represented as an IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.5.4).
  • Bucket names cannot begin with the "goog" prefix.
  • Bucket names cannot contain "google" or close misspellings of "google".
  • For DNS compliance and future compatibility, you should not use underscores (_) or have a period adjacent to another period or dash. For example, ".." or "-." or ".-" are not valid in DNS names.

Upload Objects into Bucket

There are two way to upload objects into the bucket in Google Console:

  1. Drag your image to the Just Add Data Area of the Bucket details screen.
  2. Click Upload Files and choose files in your local machine.

Notice the object names must be unique only within a given bucket.

Share Objects Publicly

Follow steps below to create a publicly accessible URL for the object.

  1. Click the drop-down menu (three vertical dots).
  2. Select Edit Permissions from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the dialog that appears, click the + Add entry button.
  4. Add permissions and then click Save.
