How to download several files using Data export

Problem

The Data export archive is located on a Google Cloud Platform Bucket that allows the download of an object at a time. It won't allow you to select multiple at a time to download at once.

Environment

  • Admin console
  • Cloud Storage bucket
  • Data export tool

Solution

  1. Use the gsutil cp or gcloud storage cp commands within the Admin console to download multiple objects at once.
  2. Use the documentation here to Download objects.

Note: This is out of Google Workspace scope of support, if you need assistance with this, you may reach Google Cloud Platform support directly by checking the support options in the Google Cloud Support Hub.

Cause

The Cloud Bucket just allows you to download one object at a time using the console.
