Hi everyone,
I created an export of our Google Workspace through Google Admin. Once the export is available, this export is placed in a bucket in Google Cloud (not Google Drive). Downloading every ZIP file in the subfolders is not practical and would take forever, so I wanted to download everything at once.
When I select the folder in the bucket and click "Download" a popup appear that says the following:
"Downloading 1 folder requires the command-line tool
Only individual objects can be downloaded using the Cloud Console. To download a folder or multiple objects at a time, you can run this code for the selected resources in the gsutil command-line tool."
It then proceeds to show a command to run:
gsutil -m cp -r \ "gs://takeout-export-b1b81a89-ee44-4022-aa09-0d9be86fa9d2/20230802T162058Z" \ .
I am confused as to where to run this command in order to download the folder. I tried the Cloud console, but the download stops after some time due to insufficient storage (note, we are not a Google Cloud Platform customer). I also tried to run the command in the Google Cloud SDK Shell installed on my computer, but here also the download stops roughly half way through and it shows the error message "CommandException: 24 files/objects could not be transferred".
I tried working this out with Google Workspace Support, who ultimately were not able to solve my issue and referred me to Google Cloud Support. Google Cloud Support were not willing to help and instead offered me to buy a support plan. As I mentioned were not a Google Cloud customers so we don't want to do this.
I don't know what else to try, so I really hope someone here has the knowledge to help me to somehow download this data.
Thanks a lot in advance!
