How do I change the default storage class of a bucket

Question

How do I change the default storage class of my bucket?

Answer 1

Use the gsutil defstorageclass set command:

gsutil defstorageclass set [STORAGE_CLASS] gs://[BUCKET_NAME]

Where:

• [STORAGE_CLASS] is the new storage class you want for your bucket. For example, nearline.

• [BUCKET_NAME] is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

The response looks like the following example:

Setting default storage class to "[STORAGE_CLASS]" for bucket gs://[BUCKET_NAME]
