Package com.google.cloud.storage

package com.google.cloud.storage
A client for Cloud Storage - Unified object storage.

Here's a simple usage example the Java Storage client. This example shows how to create a Storage object. 


 Storage storage = StorageOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of("bucket", "blob_name");
 BlobInfo blobInfo = BlobInfo.newBuilder(blobId).setContentType("text/plain").build();
 Blob blob = storage.create(blobInfo, "Hello, Cloud Storage!".getBytes(UTF_8));

This second example shows how to update an object's content if the object exists. 


 Storage storage = StorageOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of("bucket", "blob_name");
 Blob blob = storage.get(blobId);
 if (blob != null) {
   byte[] prevContent = blob.getContent();
   System.out.println(new String(prevContent, UTF_8));
   WritableByteChannel channel = blob.writer();
   channel.write(ByteBuffer.wrap("Updated content".getBytes(UTF_8)));
   channel.close();
 }

For more detailed code examples, see the sample library.

When using google-cloud from outside of App/Compute Engine, you have to specify a project ID and provide credentials.

Operations in this library are generally thread safe, except for the use of BlobReadChannel and BlobWriteChannel.

The GCS Java client library includes support to GCS via gRPC. When using GCS from Google Compute Engine (GCE) this library enable higher total throughput across large workloads that run on hundreds or thousands of VMs.

At present, GCS gRPC is GA with Allowlist. To access this API, kindly contact the Google Cloud Storage gRPC team at [email protected] with a list of GCS buckets you would like to Allowlist. Please note that while the **service** is GA (with Allowlist), the client library features remain experimental and subject to change without notice. The methods to create, list, query, and delete HMAC keys and notifications are unavailable in gRPC transport.

This example shows how to enable gRPC with Direct Google Access only supported on Google Compute Engine. 


 StorageOptions options = StorageOptions.grpc().setAttemptDirectPath(true).build();
 try (Storage storage = options.getService()) {
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of("bucket", "blob_name");
 Blob blob = storage.get(blobId);
 if (blob != null) {
   byte[] prevContent = blob.getContent();
   System.out.println(new String(prevContent, UTF_8));
   WritableByteChannel channel = blob.writer();
   channel.write(ByteBuffer.wrap("Updated content".getBytes(UTF_8)));
   channel.close();
 }
 }

This example shows how to enable gRPC. 


 StorageOptions options = StorageOptions.grpc().build();
 try (Storage storage = options.getService()) {
 BlobId blobId = BlobId.of("bucket", "blob_name");
 Blob blob = storage.get(blobId);
 if (blob != null) {
   byte[] prevContent = blob.getContent();
   System.out.println(new String(prevContent, UTF_8));
   WritableByteChannel channel = blob.writer();
   channel.write(ByteBuffer.wrap("Updated content".getBytes(UTF_8)));
   channel.close();
 }
 }
