Downloads data from Google Cloud Storage to Local Filesystem¶

The Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is used to store large data from various applications. This page shows how to download data from GCS to local filesystem.

Prerequisite Tasks¶

GCSToLocalFilesystemOperator¶

GCSToLocalFilesystemOperator allows you to download data from GCS to local filesystem.

Below is an example of using this operator to upload a file to GCS.

airflow/providers/google/cloud/example_dags/example_gcs_to_local.py[source]

    download_file = GCSToLocalFilesystemOperator(
        task_id="download_file",
        object_name=PATH_TO_REMOTE_FILE,
        bucket=BUCKET,
        filename=PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE,
    )
