Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:39 pm

There are a few different ways to import a CSV file into Google Cloud Storage. The simplest way is to use the gcs command-line tool. To import a CSV file into Google Cloud Storage using the gcs command-line tool, you first need to create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

You can then use the gcs get command to import the CSV file into the bucket. The following command imports the CSV file named myfile.csv into the mybucket bucket in Google Cloud Storage:.

gcs get mybucket myfile.csv

The gcs get command imports the contents of the myfile.csv file into the mybucket bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

PRO TIP: When importing a CSV file into Google Cloud Storage, be sure to check the file format and encoding to ensure that the file is compatible with your storage system. If the file is not compatible, it may not be imported correctly and could cause data loss.

The mybucket bucket is a default bucket that you can create using the gcs create command. The myfile.csv file is a text file with the following contents:.

name,first_name,last_name

John,Doe,Smith

The gcs get command imports the contents of the myfile.csv file into the mybucket bucket.
