Hi @manavgangwani ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

To transfer data within Google Cloud:

  • Cloud Storage Transfer Service : Best for large datasets or ongoing replication between buckets.
  • gsutil command-line tool: Best for smaller datasets or transferring data from/to on-premises locations.
  • gsutil Transfer Objects: Efficiently transfer data to BigQuery, Cloud Spanner, etc.

Choose the method based on dataset size, transfer direction, technical expertise, and performance needs.

Best practices:

  • Test transfers with a small dataset.
  • Consider network bandwidth and storage class.
  • Manage IAM permissions carefully.
  • Explore external data transfer services if needed.
