Transferring to Google Cloud Storage
When you transfer a file to Google Cloud Storage, your file goes into a Google Cloud Storage Bucket. Moving files into storage buckets allows you to free up space in your Google Drive and other storage spaces.
While in a bucket, you will no longer have direct access to it, but you can pull it out and access it. This process is not currently accessible through Admin+. Instead, you must do this through the Google Cloud Platform.
Follow this process:
- Click on Storage on the left navigation menu.
- Select the file you want to transfer.
- On the Action drop-down, select Transfer to Google Storage.
- Select the destination Bucket/Folder.
- Apply any additional Settings.
- Delete transferred files from the drive. Deleting files from the drive frees up space after the transfer.
- Compress (zip) files. Compressing (zip) files means they take up less space in the bucket.
- Click Confirm.
Note: Fees apply to access and store files within Google Cloud Storage.
