Hi @brianj,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Zip is not supported natively by Google Cloud Storage. Files being transcoded will be compressed as gzip. This is performed to compress a file being sent to a requester to reduce both cost and transfer time.

Gzip only contains 1 file for decompression. Also, 1 object is already compressed, so transcoding any file to gzip doesn't have any real benefits.

If you need to compress multiple files, you need to create an API on your end.

I would suggest filing this feature as a feature request through this link so that Google Cloud engineers could take a look at this. This doesn't have a specific ETA but you can keep track of its progress once the ticket has been created.

Hope this helps.
