Unable to upload files larger than 2GB to Cloud Storage Bucket

[itgcp]

We've tried copying files larger than 2 GB to a bucket from Mac and Windows computers with no luck. No matter what we use, i.e File Explorer or robocopy etc, the copy fails at that limit. Any ideas?

Have you tried the gcloud command-line tool, as described here:

Hi there and nice thanks as that did work! 🙂

Do you know why that works when the other normal File Explorer methods wouldn't / any more ideas on that?

Although, even though it showed that it worked it shows an odd file size in the browser afterwards. Strange... see this...

Oddly after its done - when I checked, the folder shows the file listed as only "(163,627) KB" and has it listed in parenthesis as if it didn't really copy fully, even though the file is 3.84 GB in size.
