can i search google cloud storage buckets recursively in the console?

Question

We have uploaded files to google cloud storage buckets and planning to create a permission to have a number of people access it. So far we could only filter/search files and folders in the directory you are in. Is it possible to search files recursively though?

Answer 1

It seems what you are looking for is the following command for searching within a bucket recursively:

gsutil ls -r gs://bucket/**

Note: "bucket" is the name of the bucket you have set.

In the case you would like to search within a specific directory you can run the following:

gsutil ls -r gs://bucket/dir/**

Note: "dir" would be the directory in which you would like to search

You can find more information regarding searching through "Directory By Directory, Flat, And Recursive" by going to the following link.

Update

If this is not what you meant then I would like to mention another option. You can retrieve the information regarding the contents in a bucket through an API as well. The following API link here retrieves a list of objects matching the criteria specified.

Note: In order for this API to work the user must have "READER" permission or above.

Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.
