Hello,
If I understand correctly, it is recommended to switch away from gsutil in favor of gcloud storage. While updating our internal scripts, I have noticed that the latter disregards metadata when it comes to rsync. I actually got the impression that it works occasionally, but occasionally it does not, and I am not sure what the failure mode is exactly. I wonder if it is as intended or a bug.
For gsutil, the situation is clear:
For gcloud storage rsync, there is no such paragraph:

Thank you!
