The browser-based Trusted Cloud console tool lets you manage your Cloud Storage resources through a graphical interface. Use the Trusted Cloud console to manage your data if you prefer using a user interface through the browser.
This page describes how to access the Trusted Cloud console and lists tasks in Cloud Storage that can be performed using the Trusted Cloud console. As an alternative to the Trusted Cloud console, you can also use the Google Cloud CLI, REST API, or Cloud Storage client libraries.
Console features
The Trusted Cloud console provides the following features:
- Access to all your Trusted Cloud projects
- Access to the Cloud Shell
- A customizable project dashboard, with an overview of Trusted Cloud resources, billing, and a filterable activity listing
- Access to all Trusted Cloud APIs, with a dashboard specific to each API, and access to manage your resources
- Links to Trusted Cloud starting points, news, and documentation
The Trusted Cloud console is used to perform a variety of tasks in Cloud Storage, such as the following:
- Creating buckets
- Uploading objects to buckets and downloading objects from buckets
- Filtering and sorting lists of buckets and objects
- Creating and managing folders
- Controlling access to your data and resources by using Identity and Access Management (IAM) and ACLs
- Monitoring buckets and bandwidth usage
- Using Cloud Storage features like Anywhere Cache, soft delete, and Object Versioning
Access to the Trusted Cloud console
The Trusted Cloud console requires no setup or installation, and you can access it directly in a browser. Depending on your use case, you access the Trusted Cloud console using different URLs. If you are:
- A user granted access to a project
Use:
https://console.cloud.s3nscloud.fr/A current project owner can give you access to the entire project, which applies equally to all buckets and objects defined in the project.
- A user granted access to a bucket
Use:
https://console.cloud.s3nscloud.fr/storage/browser/BUCKET_NAMEIn this use case, a project owner gives you access to an individual bucket within a larger project. The owner then sends you the bucket name which you substitute into the URL. You are able to only work with objects in the specified bucket. This is useful for users who don't have access to the full project, but who need to access a bucket. When you access the URL, you authenticate if you are not already signed in.
A variation of this use case is when a project owner grants All Users permission to read objects in a bucket. This creates a bucket whose contents are publicly readable. For more information, see Make data public.
- A user granted access to an object
Use:
https://console.cloud.s3nscloud.fr/storage/browser/_details/BUCKET_NAME/OBJECT_NAMEIn this use case, a project owner gives you access to single objects within a bucket and sends you the URL to access the objects. When you access the URLs, you are prompted to authenticate with a user account if you are not already signed in.
Note that the form of this URL is different from the URL for objects that are shared publicly. When you share a link publicly, the URL is of the form:
https://storage.s3nsapis.fr/BUCKET_NAME/OBJECT_NAME. This public URL does not require a recipient to authenticate with a valid account and can be used for non-authenticated access to an object.
Filtering and sorting lists of buckets and objects
In the Trusted Cloud console list of buckets for a project, you can filter and sort the buckets you see by using the Filter field.
To filter buckets, select the Sort and filter option and then specify the column and value you want to filter by.
To filter buckets by bucket name prefix, select the Filter by name prefix only option and then specify the bucket name prefix you want to filter by.
To sort buckets, click Sort next to the name of the column you want to sort by.
In the Trusted Cloud console list of objects for a bucket, you can filter the objects you see by using the Filter field.
To filter objects, select the Sort and filter option and then specify the column and value you want to filter by.
To filter objects by object name prefix, select the Filter by name prefix only option and then specify the object name prefix you want to filter by.
To sort objects, click Sort next to the name of the column you want to sort by.
Filtering and sorting only applies to objects and folders in the current path being displayed. For example, if you're viewing the top-level of a bucket, filtering and sorting don't return objects contained in folders.
Showing and hiding columns
To show or hide columns for a list of buckets or objects, click View column (), then select the columns you want to see or hide.
