Hello Team,

I have a question. In GCP, when I try to download a file from Cloud Storage using Java, I encounter a memory issue. Since Cloud Functions have memory limitations, I chose to use a Cloud Function for the file download. However, it returns the file content instead of downloading the file. Is it possible to download a file using a Cloud Function?

To successfully download the file into the temporary folder of a Cloud Function and from there you can copy this file into a bucket.

In order to achieve this, download the file using createWriteStream into the /tmp folder since is the only folder where we can store files in a Cloud Function, as stated in the Cloud Functions Execution Environment documentation.

After that, copy the file to a bucket following this Cloud Storage Uploading Objects documentation.
