How to share entire Google Cloud Bucket with GSUTIL

Question

Is there a command using GSUTIL that will allow me to share publicly everything in a specific Bucket? Right now, I'm forced to go through and check "share publicly" individually on EVERY SINGLE FILE in the console.

Answer 1

The best way to do this is:

gsutil -m acl ch -u 'AllUsers:R' gs://your-bucket/**

will update ACLs for each existing object in the bucket.

If you want newly created objects in this bucket to also be public, you should also run:

gsutil defacl ch -u 'AllUsers:R' gs://your-bucket

This question was also asked here but the answer recommends using acl set public-read which has the downside of potentially altering your existing ACLs.
