Gsutil to Gcloud Storage Command and Flag Mapping

This document provides a detailed mapping of gsutil commands and flags to their gcloud storage equivalents, including caveats and key differences. This guide is intended to supplement the main Transitioning from gsutil to gcloud storage document.
You can also reference to the complete gcloud storage documents here.

Command and Flag Mappings

ls: List buckets and objects

The gsutil ls command lists buckets, objects, and prefixes. The equivalent command is gcloud storage ls.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-l -l, --long Long listing format.
-L -L, --full Full listing format.
-a -a, --all-versions Includes non-current object versions.
-b -b, --buckets Lists only buckets.
-r, -R -r, --recursive Recursive listing.
-e -e, --etag Includes ETag in long listing (-l) output
-h --readable-sizes Displays object sizes in human-readable format. Renamed from -h to avoid conflict with global --help.
-d Not supported Option to list only directories has no direct translation and does not work as documented in gsutil.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Bucket Listing with Wildcards: When using a wildcard for buckets, gcloud storage ls groups results by bucket name; gsutil provides a flat list of objects.
  • -L (Full Listing) Output: gcloud storage uses title case for keys and omits fields with "None" values. gsutil simply capitalizes the first word (depending on the term).
  • Order of objects: The order of objects returned may differ between tools.
  • Time Format: gcloud storage always converts timestamps to UTC. gsutil may not be strict about the timezone.
  • Error Messages: gcloud storage displays error messages at the end of the output.

cat: Concatenate object content

Outputs the contents of objects to stdout. Equivalent to gcloud storage cat.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-h -d, --display-url Prints a short header for each object.
-r --range Specifies a byte range to retrieve.

du: Display object size usage

Displays space in bytes used by objects. Equivalent to gcloud storage du.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-0 --zero-terminator, -0 Ends each output line with a 0 byte.
-a --all-versions, -a Includes live and noncurrent object versions.
-c --total, -c Includes a total size at the end.
-e --exclude-name-pattern, -e Excludes a pattern. Can be specified multiple times.
-h --readable-sizes, -r Prints sizes in human-readable format (e.g., 1 KiB, 234 MiB).
-s --summarize, -s Displays only the total size for each URL argument.
-X --exclude-name-pattern-file, -X Excludes patterns from a file.

acl: Get, set, or change ACLs

Replaced by gcloud storage {buckets|objects} describe and gcloud storage {buckets|objects} update.

gsutil acl get -> gcloud storage <RESOURCE> describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="multi(acl:format=json)" Specify buckets or objects.

gsutil acl set -> gcloud storage <RESOURCE> update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Applies To Notes
<file-path> --acl-file=<ACL_FILE_PATH> Buckets/Objects Specifies a file containing ACL data.
<predefined> --predefined-acl=<PREDEFINED_ACL> Buckets/Objects Specifies a predefined (canned) ACL.
-a --all-versions, -a Objects Only Apply to all object versions.
-r, -R --recursive, -r Objects Only Recursively apply.
-f --continue-on-error Buckets/Objects Continue on error.

-a --all-versions, -a Objects Only Apply to all object versions.
-r, -R --recursive, -r Objects Only Recursively apply.
-f --continue-on-error Buckets/Objects Continue on error.

defacl: Get, set, or change default object ACLs

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil defacl get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(defaultObjectAcl)" Displays the default object ACL.

gsutil defacl set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
<file-path> --default-object-acl-file=<ACL_FILE> Specifies a file with the default object ACL.
<predefined-acl> --predefined-default-object-acl= Specifies a predefined default object ACL.

gsutil defacl ch -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-u --add-default-object-acl-grant=GRANT Adds grant for a user. Format: ENTITY:ROLE.
-g --add-default-object-acl-grant=GRANT Adds grant for a group. Format: ENTITY:ROLE.
-p --add-default-object-acl-grant=GRANT Adds grant for a project role.
-d --remove-default-object-acl-grant= Removes all grants for the entity.

autoclass: Configure Autoclass feature

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil autoclass get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(autoclass)" Displays Autoclass config.

gsutil autoclass set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
set on --enable-autoclass Enables Autoclass.
set off --no-enable-autoclass Disables Autoclass.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • gcloud storage buckets update only accepts one bucket URL at a time.

defstorageclass: Get or set the default storage class

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil defstorageclass get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="value(storageClass)" Displays the default storage class.

gsutil defstorageclass set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Command gcloud storage Flag Notes
set --default-storage-class=<STORAGE_CLASS> Sets the default storage class.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Storage Class Abbreviations: gsutil allows abbreviations (e.g., N for NEARLINE). gcloud storage requires full names.

compose: Concatenate objects

Equivalent to gcloud storage objects compose.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Preconditions: In gcloud storage, preconditions are set using specific flags like --if-generation-match.

cors: Get or set a bucket's CORS configuration

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil cors get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(cors)" Displays CORS config in YAML.

gsutil cors set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Command gcloud storage Flag Notes
set --cors-file=<CORS_FILE> Specifies a local JSON or YAML file for CORS config. Accepts one bucket URL.
set [] --clear-cors Clears CORS settings.

hash: Calculate file hashes

Equivalent to gcloud storage hash. gcloud command uses additive flags instead of subtractive flags in gsutil.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-c --skip-md5 gsutil: "calculate CRC32c". gcloud: "skip MD5".
-m --skip-crc32c gsutil: "calculate MD5". gcloud: "skip CRC32c".
-h --hex Outputs hashes in hex. Default is base64.
Default Default Calculates both CRC32c and MD5.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Hash Selection: gsutil uses additive flags (-c, -m). gcloud storage uses subtractive flags (--skip-md5, --skip-crc32c).

hmac: CRUD operations on service account HMAC keys

Mirrored in gcloud storage hmac.

gsutil hmac create -> gcloud storage hmac create gsutil hmac delete -> gcloud storage hmac delete gsutil hmac get -> gcloud storage hmac describe

gsutil hmac list -> gcloud storage hmac list

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-a --all, -a Show all keys, including recently deleted.
-l --long, -l Long listing format.
-u --service-account, -u Filter by service account.
-p --project Project ID or number.

gsutil hmac update -> gcloud storage hmac update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-s ACTIVE --activate Sets key state to ACTIVE.
-s INACTIVE --deactivate Sets key state to INACTIVE.
-e --etag Conditional update based on ETag.
-p --project Project ID or number.

iam: Get, set, or change bucket/object IAM permissions

For buckets, functionality is in gcloud storage buckets get-iam-policy, set-iam-policy, add-iam-policy-binding, and remove-iam-policy-binding. Object-level IAM is generally discouraged in favor of bucket-level policies with conditions.

gsutil iam get -> gcloud storage buckets get-iam-policy

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get get-iam-policy --format=json Matches gsutil JSON output.

gsutil iam set -> gcloud storage buckets set-iam-policy

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-e --etag=, -e Conditional set.
-f --continue-on-error, -c Continue on error.
file POLICY_FILE Policy file positional argument. Order is reversed: URL first, then file in gcloud.

gsutil iam ch -> gcloud storage buckets add-iam-policy-binding / remove-iam-policy-binding

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Equivalent Notes
binding --member= --role= on add-iam-policy-binding Grants role to member. Binding format needs parsing.
-d binding --member= --role= on remove-iam-policy-binding Removes role from member.
-d entity --member= on remove-iam-policy-binding Removes all roles for the member.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • iam ch Complexity: Migrating gsutil iam ch scripts requires replacing with potentially multiple gcloud storage buckets add/remove-iam-policy-binding calls or replicating the read-modify-write loop in your script.
  • Conditions: gsutil iam ch does not support IAM policies with conditions; gcloud storage does.

kms: Configure Cloud KMS encryption

Split between gcloud storage service-agent and gcloud storage buckets update / describe.

gsutil kms authorize -> gcloud storage service-agent

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes

gsutil kms encryption -> gcloud storage buckets describe / update

  • Get: describe --format="value(encryption.defaultKmsKeyName)"
  • Set: update --default-encryption-key=<KMS_KEY>
  • Clear: update --clear-default-encryption-key

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil lifecycle get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="gsutiljson(lifecycle)" Displays lifecycle config.

gsutil lifecycle set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
<config-json-file> --lifecycle-file=<LIFECYCLE_FILE> Specifies a local JSON file with lifecycle config.

logging: Get or set bucket logging configuration

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil logging get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(logging)" Displays logging config.

gsutil logging set on -> gcloud storage buckets update

-a --predefined-acl=<PREDEFINED_ACL>, -a Predefined ACL for uploaded objects.
-A --all-versions, -A Copies all source versions. Disables parallelism in gcloud.
-c --continue-on-error, -c Continue on error.
-D --daisy-chain, -D Copy between buckets via local machine.
-e --ignore-symlinks Excludes symbolic links.
-I --read-paths-from-stdin, -I Read paths from stdin.

-Z --gzip-local-all, -Z Compress all local files before upload.
--stet (Not supported) Split-trust encryption tool flag.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Parallelism: gcloud storage cp is parallel by default. gsutil requires top-level -m flag.
  • Empty Directories: gcloud storage cp copies 0-byte placeholder objects created by Cloud Console, gsutil cp skips them.
  • Error Handling: gcloud storage cp attempts to copy all valid sources even if some are invalid. gsutil cp may halt on the first invalid source.
  • Local Directory Creation: gcloud storage cp creates missing local directories in the destination path during downloads. gsutil cp fails if the directory doesn't exist.
  • Support for Local Copy: Gcloud Storage is meant as a tool to work with GCS (cloud). So it does not support local copying (where both source and destination are local files/folders). Trying to use the tool this way will cause an error.

mv: Move or rename objects

Equivalent to gcloud storage mv. Aliases move, ren, rename are not supported. Most gsutil cp flags are available, except not applicable ones like -r.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Non-Atomic: Like gsutil mv, gcloud storage mv is a copy followed by a delete.

notification: Configure object change notifications

Pub/Sub notifications are managed via gcloud storage buckets notifications. Legacy Object Change Notifications (watchbucket, stopchannel) are not supported in gcloud storage.

gsutil notification create -> gcloud storage buckets notifications create

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-f --payload-format=<PAYLOAD_FORMAT>, -f Payload format (json or none).
-p --object-prefix=<OBJECT_PREFIX>, -p Filter by object prefix.
-t --topic=, -t Cloud Pub/Sub topic.
-m --custom-attributes=KEY=VALUE,..., -m Custom key:value attributes.
-e --event-types=<EVENT_TYPE>,..., -e Filter by event type (e.g., OBJECT_FINALIZE).
-s --skip-topic-setup, -s Skip topic creation/permission setup.

gsutil notification list -> gcloud storage buckets notifications list

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-o (Not supported) Listing legacy Object Change Notification channels not supported.

gsutil notification delete -> gcloud storage buckets notifications delete

Deletes a specific notification by name or all notifications on a bucket.

pap: Get or set Public Access Prevention

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil pap get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(iamConfiguration.publicAccessPrevention)" Displays PAP config.

gsutil pap set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
enforced --public-access-prevention Enforces PAP.
inherited --no-public-access-prevention Sets PAP to inherited.

rb: Remove buckets

Equivalent to gcloud storage buckets delete. Aliases deletebucket, removebucket, etc., are not supported.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-f --continue-on-error Continues despite errors.

requesterpays: Configure requester pays

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil requesterpays set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
on --requester-pays Enables Requester Pays.
off --no-requester-pays Disables Requester Pays.

gsutil requesterpays get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(requesterPays)" Displays Requester Pays config.

retention: Manage retention policies and holds

Split across gcloud storage buckets and gcloud storage objects commands.

  • Set/Clear/Get Bucket Retention Policy: gcloud storage buckets update --retention-period, gcloud storage buckets update --clear-retention-period, gcloud storage buckets describe --format="default(retentionPolicy)"
  • Lock Bucket Retention Policy: gcloud storage buckets update --lock-retention-period
  • Default Event-Based Hold: gcloud storage buckets update --default-event-based-hold / --no-default-event-based-hold
  • Object Event-Based Hold: gcloud storage objects update --event-based-hold / --no-event-based-hold
  • Object Temporary Hold: gcloud storage objects update --temporary-hold / --no-temporary-hold

rewrite: Rewrite objects in place

Equivalent to gcloud storage objects update.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-k --encryption-key=KEY, --clear-encryption-key Complex behavior, see Caveats.
-s --storage-class=, -s Rewrite to specified storage class.
-r, -R --recursive, -r Recursive rewrite.
-f --continue-on-error Continue on error.
-I --read-paths-from-stdin, -I Read paths from stdin.
-O --no-preserve-acl Use bucket's default object ACL.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Encryption Handling: gsutil rewrite -k behavior depends on boto config. If encryption_key is set in boto, that key is applied. If not set, it's equivalent to gcloud storage objects update --clear-encryption-key, potentially removing CSEK/CMEK.
  • Redundancy Checks: gsutil rewrite skips no-op transformations. gcloud storage objects update might not, potentially causing unnecessary operations.

rm: Remove objects

Equivalent to gcloud storage rm. Aliases del, delete, remove are not supported.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-f --continue-on-error Continue on error.
-I --read-paths-from-stdin, -I Read paths from stdin.
-R, -r --recursive, -r Recursive delete.
-a --all-versions, -a Delete all versions.

rpo: Get or set a bucket's replication setting

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil rpo get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(rpo)" Displays RPO setting.

gsutil rpo set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
ASYNC_TURBO or DEFAULT --recovery-point-objective=RPO, --rpo=RPO Sets replication setting.

rsync: Synchronize content

Equivalent to gcloud storage rsync.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-a --predefined-acl=<PREDEFINED_ACL> Sets predefined ACL on uploads.
-c --checksums-only Compare checksums only.
-C --continue-on-error Continue on error.
-d --delete-unmatched-destination-objects Delete destination files not in source.
-e --ignore-symlinks Exclude symlinks.
-i --no-clobber Skip existing destination files.
-j <ext,...> --gzip-in-flight="<ext,...>" Gzip transport encoding.
-J --gzip-in-flight-all Gzip all uploads.
-n --dry-run Dry run.
-p --preserve-acl Preserve ACLs.
-P --preserve-posix Preserve POSIX attributes.
-r, -R --recursive, -r, -R Recursive sync.
-u --skip-if-dest-has-newer-mtime Skip if destination is newer.
-U --skip-unsupported Skip unsupported storage classes.
-x --exclude= Exclude files matching pattern.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Change Detection: gsutil rsync defaults to size and mtime. gcloud storage rsync also uses size and mtime, but falls back to checksums if sizes match but mtimes differ or are missing.
  • Parallelism: gcloud storage rsync is parallel by default. gsutil rsync requires top-level -m.
  • Symlink Handling: gsutil rsync follows symlinks by default. gcloud storage rsync ignores them by default (use --no-ignore-symlinks).

setmeta: Set metadata on objects

Equivalent to gcloud storage objects update, but with different flag structure.

Action gsutil setmeta Example gcloud storage objects update Equivalent
Set Metadata -h "Content-Type:text/html" --content-type="text/html"
-h "Cache-Control:no-cache" --cache-control="no-cache"
-h "Content-Language:en" --content-language="en"
-h "x-goog-meta-foo:bar" --update-custom-metadata=foo=bar
Remove Metadata -h "Content-Type" --clear-content-type
-h "Cache-Control" --clear-cache-control
-h "x-goog-meta-foo" --remove-custom-metadata=foo

signurl: Create a signed URL

Equivalent to gcloud storage sign-url.

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
<private-key-file> --private-key-file=<PRIVATE_KEY_FILE> Path to private key file. Positional in gsutil.
-u, --use-service-account (No flag needed) Default behavior in gcloud if --private-key-file not used.
-d --duration= URL validity duration. Different format (e.g., 10m).
-m --http-verb= HTTP method (e.g., GET, PUT).
-c --headers=content-type=<CONTENT_TYPE> Content-Type header. Part of repeatable --headers flag.
-p --private-key-password= Password for encrypted private key.
-r --region= Resource region.
-b --query-params=userProject= Billing project for Requester Pays.

stat: Display object status

Equivalent to gcloud storage objects list --stat --fetch-encrypted-object-hashes.

Caveats and Key Differences

  • Output Formatting: Output format differs, with known spacing issues. Scripts parsing gsutil stat output may need adjustments.

ubla: Configure Uniform bucket-level access

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil ubla get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(iamConfiguration.uniformBucketLevelAccess)" Displays UBLA config.

gsutil ubla set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
on --uniform-bucket-level-access Enables UBLA.
off --no-uniform-bucket-level-access Disables UBLA.

versioning: Enable or suspend versioning

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil versioning get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(versioning)" Displays versioning config.

gsutil versioning set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Argument gcloud storage Flag Notes
on --versioning Enables versioning.
off --no-versioning Disables (suspends) versioning.

web: Set a website configuration for a bucket

Replaced by gcloud storage buckets describe and gcloud storage buckets update.

gsutil web get -> gcloud storage buckets describe

gsutil Command gcloud storage Command Notes
get describe --format="default(website)" Displays website config.

gsutil web set -> gcloud storage buckets update

gsutil Flag gcloud storage Flag Notes
-m <main_page_suffix> --web-main-page-suffix=<MAIN_PAGE_SUFFIX> Main page suffix.
-e <error_page> --web-error-page=<ERROR_PAGE> Not-found (404) page.
(no flags) --clear-web-main-page-suffix and --clear-web-error-page Clears website config.

Other Commands

The following gsutil commands do not have direct translations in gcloud storage as their functionality is gsutil-specific or handled differently within the gcloud ecosystem:

  • config: Manages gsutil-specific configurations. gcloud has its own config group.
  • version: Displays gsutil version. You can use gcloud -v instead.
  • help: gsutil-specific help. You can use gcloud help.
  • perfdiag: gsutil-specific performance diagnostics. While not a direct mapping, gcloud alpha storage diagnose can be used instead.
  • test: Runs gsutil tests.
  • update: Updates gsutil. gcloud components are updated via gcloud components update.
