Creating a Folder and Uploading an Object in Cloud Storage

In the lab, the correct project is already selected; but in the real world, if you have multiple projects, you would want to choose the appropriate project before starting.

From Google Cloud console's main navigation, choose CLOUD STORAGE.

1. Click CREATE BUCKET.
2. Give your bucket a name—it has to be globally unique— and click CONTINUE.
3. Leave the default Multi-region option selected and click CONTINUE.
4. Select Standard as the storage class, then click CONTINUE.
5. Uncheck Enforce public access prevention on this bucket.
6. Under Access Control, select Uniform, then click CONTINUE.
7. Under Data Protection, leave the default option Soft delete policy (For data recovery) selected.
8. Expand DATA ENCRYPTION; make sure that Google-managed encryption key is selected.
9. Click CREATE.

Once inside the bucket, click UPLOAD FILES.

1. Pick any random image from your own computer and upload it to the bucket.
2. Once the file is uploaded, click on the file to access the object details.
3. On the Object Details page, find and click the link next to Authenticated URL to open a page that will display the image you uploaded.
