Powershell Upload, Download file Google Storage Bucket

Today in this article we will see how to automate and perform Powershell Upload, Download file Google cloud Storage Bucket

Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Create an account in the google cloud project.

Above google cloud SDK needs to be installed on the Server or VM where we need to run the target scripts.

Powershell – Upload the File to Google Cloud Storage Bucket

Let’s use the below image(the official logo of the TheCodebuzz) as an example. We shall be uploading this file to the GCP bucket.

Let’s save the above file to the computer in the path C:\test\thecodebuzz.png

Make sure to activate the service account as below by providing the service account file path as below,

gccloud auth activate-service-account --key-file $googleServiceAccount

Command Pattern

gsutil cp [target-file-path] gs://[gcs-path]

Example

try
{  
  #Source file path
  $sourFilePath = "C:\test\CloudBlobTest.pdf"
  #Google Service Account
  $googleServiceAccount = dir "$sourFilePath\google-svc-thecodebuzz.json"
  #Destination path
  $destinationPath = "gs://thecodebuzz/"
  #Activate the google service account
  gccloud auth activate-service-account --key-file $googleServiceAccount
  #Copy files to GCS bucket
  gsutil cp $sourFilePath $destinationPath

}

catch
{

  echo $_.Exception.GetType().FullName,$_.Exception.Message

}

After successful execution of the commands file will be uploaded to the google cloud storage bucket.

Powershell – Download the File to Google Cloud Storage Bucket

We shall now download the above-uploaded file from google Bucket using gsutil command line as below,

Command Pattern

gsutil cp gs://[gcs-file-path] [target-file-path]

Example

try
{  
  #Source file path
  $sourFilePath = "gs://thecodebuzz/load-from-gcutil/thecodebuzz.png"
  #Google Service Account
  $googleServiceAccount = dir "$sourFilePath\google-svc-thecodebuzz.json"
  #Destination path
  $destinationPath = "C:\Test\gcp\Download"
  #Activate the google service account
  gccloud auth activate-service-account --key-file $googleServiceAccount
  #Copy files from GCS bucket
  gsutil cp $sourFilePath $destinationPath 

}

catch
{

  echo $_.Exception.GetType().FullName,$_.Exception.Message

}

Once the command is successful, you shall see the file generated in the path.
