You can use Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or distributing large data objects to users via direct download.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps. A step-by-step guide may also be found in Get Started with Client Libraries.

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

2. Enable billing for your project.

3. Enable the Google Cloud Storage API.

Installation

Install this library in a virtual environment using venv. venv is a tool that creates isolated Python environments. These isolated environments can have separate versions of Python packages, which allows you to isolate one project’s dependencies from the dependencies of other projects.

With venv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Code samples and snippets

Code samples and snippets live in the samples/ folder.

Python >= 3.7

Unsupported Python Versions

Python <= 3.6

If you are using an end-of-life version of Python, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported version.
