How do I upload a CSV file to Google Cloud?

Last updated on December 23, 2022 @ 2:17 pm

Uploading a CSV file to Google Cloud can be done through the Google Cloud Platform Console, the gcloud command-line tool, or the APIs.

The Google Cloud Platform Console

The Google Cloud Platform Console allows users to upload and manage files and data in the cloud. To upload a CSV file, open the Google Cloud Platform Console and go to the Data section. Select the file you want to upload and click Upload. A dialog box will appear asking you to define the file’s properties.

In the File name field, type the file’s name. In the File type field, select CSV. In the File size field, type the size of the file in bytes. Click Upload.

The gcloud command-line tool

The gcloud command-line tool can be used to upload files to the Google Cloud Platform. To upload a CSV file, type the following command:

  • gcloud upload csv file_name

The gcloud command-line tool will ask you to define the file’s properties. In the File name field, type the file’s name.

PRO TIP: When uploading a CSV file to Google Cloud, make sure that the file is in the correct format and that all necessary data is included. If you are not sure about the format, ask someone who is familiar with Google Cloud.

In the File size field, type the size of the file in bytes.

The Google Cloud Platform APIs

The Google Cloud Platform APIs allow you to upload files to the Google Cloud Platform from your own applications. To upload a CSV file, you need to create an API request and provide the file’s name and size in bytes. To make the request, use the following code:

OAuth2AccessToken = "ACCESS_TOKEN" ;  
Request = new Request 
Builder ( "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/v1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/
datasets/[DATASET_ID]/files/[FILE_NAME]?size=[BYTE_SIZE]&
access_token=" + OAuth2AccessToken ) 

addHeader ( "Content-Type" , "application/csv" ) 
build (); Response = client . post ( Request );

The Google Cloud Platform APIs allow you to upload files up to 2GB in size.
