Adding additional functionality to Google Cloud Storage

[yingbo]

The google cloud storage plugin can browse objects(blobs), but cannot upload or download objects. It's nice to have the function.

Thank you for suggestion @yingbo, we will think more about this feature. How often do you use GCS features in Cloud Code and what else would be useful for you?

[yingbo]

Thanks! Because the lacking of many basic function in the GCS feature, I mainly use browser instead. It will be great to have more complete functions so I can use GCS more in the plugin: download, upload, copy-full-path (e.g. gs://foo/bar). I think it's really nice to do all things in the plugin other than jumping to a browser in another window all the time.

Thanks you for your feedback @yingbo! This definitely makes sense.

A follow up question - image you write a code that uses GCS. Do you need anything else aside from copy-full-path and file operations in the IDE? Anything like code completion, suggestion or snippets or standard IDE based code assistance is enough for efficient coding?

[yingbo]

Thank you for asking @ivanporty . Currently, I don need any features you mentioned.

[ivanporty]

Thanks again! We will triage your FR and decide on the priority, and let you know once we have a plan.

@yingbo After reviewing this list again, it's fairly low on priority list for now but we do believe it's a nice-to-have feature. Added it to the Backlog for now. Keeping the issue open so others can upvote this.

Added a link to the cloud storage web browser to help bridge the friction, which will be available in the next release
