Cloud Storage - Batch Downlowding buckets "Resource:"

Hello to all,
(after exporting GWS Data to Google Cloud Storage)
How to batch “download” buckets “Resource:” with “gsutil” from Google “Cloud Storage” to Windows local directory?
Note: it does not want to create the corresponding Windows folder because of the use of «:».
It works very well for users.
«Resource:» is where shared drives are deposited.

Hi satjulien,

I believe you would need to setup and configure Google SDK on your local machine first -and then permissions and files will be created. once done, you can sign into google sdk under your super user account. Happy to help you troubleshoot if I can.

I am needing to download 8TB of data from an Admin Export (takeout) to an external drive, it looked like you may have done that before - do you have any advice on the command you used to get the data to download to the external drive instead of C:\ ?

Hello,
Hum, we’re dealing here with Google Workspace for Nonprofits with 30GB/user.

If you have a Bucket ready (takeout-export) to transfer to an external hardrive:
1- Install Google Cloud CLI (to have gsutil command)
2- Open cmd ou PowerShell (Terminal)
3- (example) gsutil -m cp -r gs://takeout-export-89dcd8d8-0a24-4b45-b677-734fecc6cdd9/20231101T161242Z “G:\GWS Backup 2023\4 novembre 2023”
where G: is the hard drive
