Hi this is my first day using GCP. I wanted to upload about 40,000 files in a folder with multiple sub folders and has about 120 GB of data.
I do not need to use the data in cloud so I created an Archive Bucket and tried to upload my folder. I only want to have a backup of my files incase of a local hardware failure so I thought this would be a good option. Was hoping to upload files and never touch them unless I need my files after a failure.
The transfer starts and about 20 files get uploaded and then the system just seems to freeze on me and I don't get any errors that I can see
My first question is where do I go to see the logs and try to help determine why the upload is failing.
I was also looking into using CLI gsutil but can't seem to get that working either. I am using the CP command but not sure what to put as the directory.
My Files are located in F:\Pics so I assumed that is what I would put but I get an error saying URL doesn't exist. Thought this would be an easy solution for my needs but I am starting to think this is going to be a lot more complicated than I first expected.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update: I was able to get the gsutil copy command to work by using the Google Cloud SDK I was trying to use the cloud console before so I am guessing that was my mistake.
It is working and can upload many files and sub folders in a folder but I can only seem to see files that are on my C: drive I am not able to change to another local drive in my system.
So close but still so far away as I can't seem to find a way to get that working.
