How to determine the project associated with a cloud storage bucket

Question

I am working on multiple projects on GCP and also have created a number of cloud storage buckets. I don't remember which project I created a bucket in. How can I find it?

Answer 1

To find which project contains a specific bucket:

• If you are searching over a moderate number of projects and buckets, use the Google Cloud Console, select each project, and view the buckets it contains.

• Otherwise, go to the storage.bucket.get page in the API Explorer and enter the bucket's name in the bucket field. When you click Authorize and Execute, the associated project number appears as part of the response. To get the project name, use the project number in the following terminal command:

  gcloud projects list | grep [PROJECT_NUMBER]

Hope it works!!

I found this answer very helpful.

But it took me a while to figure out how to use the API Explorer and to find the right page within the API Explorer. It's the "Cloud Storage JSON API".

Also, I was able to get the same information using

gsutil ls -L -b gs://bucket | grep projectNumber
