I've been out to the industry for 12 yrs and forgot most of what I know.  THe issue is I stored alot of data up on google cloud back in '19 and now want to retrieve it.  The upload interface was great the download interface is non existant.  What I need it the command to copy all files and directoried under the pictures3755 bucket to the local path e:\.  and detail intructions of where to launch the shell which shell etc. I just wanted to use it for BU storage but this isn't working out.  Thanks for your help

To download an entire bucket you must install google cloud SDK.

Then run this command:

`gsutil -m cp -R gs://project-bucket-name path/to/local`

where `path/to/local` is your path of local storage of your machine

In your particular case, I would recommend you to review Cloud Storage documentation like Upload Objects and Download Objects.

Also, as an additional recommendation, you can review and follow the Google Cloud Storage Tutorial written by Greg Wilson.
