How to download from google cloud storage?

Is google cloud storage badly designed; or am i missing something really obvious; or is it made for techies?

I'm not a techie.

I uploaded files to google cloud storage, and I want to download some of them to a different computer. How do I download files from there?

How do I download folders from Google Cloud Platform?

Upload and downloading files and folders Files and folders can only be uploaded to and downloaded from your home directory. In your Cloud Shell Editor Explorer, right-click a directory or file and then click Copy Download Link, Download, or Upload Files. Alternatively, you can navigate to File > Download/Upload Files.

If you have it in a bucket, you can use gsutil. Just install gsutil on your local machine (for example by installing the Google Cloud SDK) and then run something like

gsutil cp gs://my-bucket/my-file .

See this thread or lot's answer.

It seems you are having trouble downloading the files from Google Cloud Storage.

You should be able to right click on the filename when you are in Cloud Storage and click 'Save Link As' and that should allow you to download your file. That's about it.

This is what that the file front end looks like just in case you are somewhere else or referring to a different product: A file on Cloud Storage
