Hi @san-synthix ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You can’t directly remove headers from Google Cloud Storage responses.

Here are some alternative solutions:

  • Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloud CDN in front of Cloud Storage.
  • Migrate your website to Cloud Run, a serverless platform that allows header configuration.
  • Rewrite headers using Cloud Load Balancing (if applicable).

Revealing the “Server: UploadServer” header isn’t a major security risk, but focus on securing your website application itself.

Hi @christianpaula

Do you have any examples or documentation demonstrating how to configure headers via cloud run or rewrite headers via GCP load balancer?
