Is there a cost for migrating Datastore/Cloud Storage data from one project to another?

Does anyone know if there is a cost involved in exporting/importing Datastore entity data from one project to another? I can't find anything in the documentation.

Likewise, is there a cost for migrating Cloud Storage data from one project to another? 

I'm trying to understand what it would take to migrate one project's Datastore and Cloud Storage to a new project and how expensive or time consuming that may be.

There are no fees associated with exporting or importing Datastore entity data between different projects. This service is offered free of charge.

Similarly, migrating Cloud Storage data from one project to another does not incur any costs, except for potential egress charges when data is transferred between projects. However, these egress charges do not apply if the data migration is happening within the same region.

The duration of the migration process for both Datastore and Cloud Storage data is contingent on the size of the data and the available bandwidth. For smaller datasets, the migration could be finished within minutes. Conversely, larger datasets might require several hours or even days to fully migrate.
