Issue with downloading Google Cloud Storage to Window laptop

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure
1

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I recently ran into an issue while trying to download a large file from Google Cloud Storage onto my Windows laptop. The download starts, but then it stops after a few minutes with an error message.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue while trying to download large files from Google Cloud Storage to a Windows laptop? If so, what was the solution? I have tried restarting the laptop and checking my internet connection, but nothing seems to be working.

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice on how to resolve this issue. Downloading large files from Google Cloud Storage is a crucial part of my workflow, and I need to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.

If anyone has any experience with downloading large files from Google Cloud Storage to a Windows laptop, I would love to hear about it. I am also open to trying any suggested troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

Thank you in advance for your help and support. I look forward to hearing from the community.

Best regards,
Judy

Hi @judywatson ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Can you show me the exact error that you’re getting? I’ve tested using gcloud CLI and I’ve managed to download the entire bucket to my local machine. I’m currently using a Chromebook.

I’ve run this command:

gsutil -m cp -R gs://project-bucket-name path/to/local

Where path/to/local is my current working directory on my gcloud CLI then download it on my Chromebook.
