Is it possible to make the objects of a bucket publicly accessible

Question

I have created a cloud storage bucket and have uploaded a few objects onto it. How do I make these objects publicly accessible?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do it. Follow the steps below: 

1. Use the gsutil acl ch command to grant all users read permission for the object stored in your bucket:

   gsutil acl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png

   If successful, the command returns:

   Updated ACL on gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png

   Now anyone can get your object.

2. To remove this permission, use the command:

   gsutil acl ch -d AllUsers gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png

   If successful, the command returns:

   Updated ACL on gs://my-awesome-bucket/kitten.png

   You have removed public access to this object.
