How to copy an object to a folder in the bucket

Question

I have created a cloud storage bucket. Now how do I copy an object to a folder in the bucket?

Answer 1

Use the gsutil cp command to create a folder and copy the image into it:

gsutil cp gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png gs://my-awesome-bucket/just-a-folder/kitten3.png

If successful, the command returns:

Copying gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png [Content-Type=image/png]...
Copying     ...my-awesome-bucket/just-a-folder/kitten3.png: 164.3 KiB/164.3 KiB

You've just copied your object into a new folder in your bucket.
