NAME gcloud alpha storage ls - list Cloud Storage buckets and objects SYNOPSIS gcloud alpha storage ls [PATH ...] [--all-versions, -a] [--buckets, -b] [--etag, -e] [--readable-sizes] [--recursive, -R, -r] [--full, -L | --json, -j | --long, -l] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION (ALPHA) List your Cloud Storage buckets in a project and objects in a bucket. This command treats forward slashes in object names as directories. See below for examples of how to use wildcards to get the listing behavior you want. EXAMPLES The following command lists the buckets in the default project: $ gcloud alpha storage ls The following command lists the buckets in the specified project: $ gcloud alpha storage ls --project=my-project The following command lists the contents of a bucket: $ gcloud alpha storage ls gs://my-bucket You can use wildcards to match multiple paths (including multiple buckets). Bucket wildcards are expanded to match only buckets contained in your current project. The following command matches .txt objects that begin with log and that are stored in buckets in your project that begin with my-b: $ gcloud alpha storage ls gs://my-b*/log*.txt The following wildcards are valid and match only within the current directory: *: Matches zero or more characters ?: Matches zero or one characters []: Matches a character range (ex. [a-z] or [0-9]) You can use double-star wildcards to match zero or more directory levels in a path. The following command matches all .txt objects in a bucket. $ gcloud alpha storage ls gs://my-bucket/**/*.txt Double-star expansion can not be combined with other expressions in a given path segment and operates as a single star in that context. For example: gs://my-bucket/dir**/log.txt is treated as: gs://my-bucket/dir*/log.txt and instead should be written as: gs://my-bucket/dir*/**/log.txt to get the recursive behavior. The following command lists all items recursively with formatting by using --recursive: $ gcloud alpha storage ls --recursive gs://bucket Recursive listings are similar to ``**'' except recursive listings include line breaks and header formatting for each subdirectory. POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS [PATH ...] The path of objects and directories to list. The path must begin with gs:// and is allowed to contain wildcard characters. FLAGS --all-versions, -a Include non-current object versions in the listing. This flag is typically only useful for buckets with object versioning (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning) enabled. If combined with the --long option, the metageneration for each listed object is also included. --buckets, -b When given a bucket URL, only return buckets. Useful for avoiding the rule that prints the top-level objects of buckets matching a query. Typically used in combination with --full to get the full metadata of buckets. --etag, -e Include ETag metadata in listings that use the --long flag. --readable-sizes When used with --long, print object sizes in human readable format, such as 1 KiB, 234 MiB, or 2 GiB. --recursive, -R, -r Recursively list the contents of any directories that match the path expression. At most one of these can be specified: --full, -L List all available metadata about items in rows. --json, -j List all available metadata about items as a JSON dump. --long, -l For objects only. List size in bytes, creation time, and URL. Note: Creation time not available for S3. GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details. NOTES This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist.
