How do I identify the Google Cloud Storage URI from my Google Developers Console?

When I attempt load data into BigQuery from Google Cloud Storage it asks for the Google Cloud Storage URI (gs://). I have reviewed all of your online support as well as stackoverflow and cannot find a way to identify the URL for my uploaded data via the browser based Google Developers Console. The only way I see to find the URL is via gsutil and I have not been able to get gsutil to work on my machine.

Is there a way to determine the URL via the browser based Google Developers Console?

Solution 1:

The path should be gs://<bucket_name>/<file_path_inside_bucket>.

Solution 2:

To answer this question more information is needed. Did you already load your data into GCS?

If not, the easiest would be to go to the project console, click on project, and Storage -> Cloud Storage -> Storage browser.

You can create buckets there and upload files to the bucket.

Then the files will be found at gs://<bucket_name>/<file_path_inside_bucket> as @nmore says.

Solution 3:

Couldn't find a direct way to get the url. But found an indirect way and below are the steps:

1. Go to GCS
2. Go into the folder in which the file has been uploaded
3. Click on the three dots at the right end of your file's row
4. Click rename
5. Click on gsutil equivalent link
6. Copy the url alone
