I'm storing objects in buckets on google cloud storage. I would like to provide a http url to the object for download. Is there a standard convention or way to expose files stored in cloud storage as http urls?

Get an S3 Object's URL #Navigate to the AWS S3 console and click on your bucket's name. Use the search input to find the object if necessary. Click on the checkbox next to the object's name. Click on the Copy URL button.
An S3 bucket can be accessed through its URL. The URL format of a bucket is either of two options: http://s3.amazonaws.com/[bucket_name]/ http://[bucket_name].s3.amazonaws.com/
A presigned URL is a URL that you can provide to your users to grant temporary access to a specific S3 object. Using the URL, a user can either READ the object or WRITE an Object (or update an existing object). The URL contains specific parameters which are set by your application.
Yes. Assuming that the objects are publicly accessible:
http://BUCKET_NAME.storage.googleapis.com/OBJECT_NAME You can also use:
http://storage.googleapis.com/BUCKET_NAME/OBJECT_NAME Both HTTP and HTTPS work fine. Note that the object must be readable by anonymous users, or else the download will fail. More documentation is available at https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/reference-uris
If it is the case that the objects are NOT publicly accessible and you only want the one user to be able to access them, you can generate a signed URL that will allow only the holder of the URL to download the object, and even then only for a limited period of time. I recommend using one of the GCS client libraries for this, as it's easy to get the signing code slightly wrong: https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/accesscontrol#Signed-URLs

One way is to use https://storage.cloud.google.com// see more documentation at https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/collaboration#browser
