How do I unzip a .zip file in google cloud storage?

Question

How do I unzip a .zip file in Goolge Cloud Storage Bucket? (If we have some other tool like 'CloudBerry Explorer' for AWS, that will be great.)

Answer 1

You can use Python, e.g. from a Cloud Function:

from google.cloud import storage
from zipfile import ZipFile
from zipfile import is_zipfile
import io

def zipextract(bucketname, zipfilename_with_path):

    storage_client = storage.Client()
    bucket = storage_client.get_bucket(bucketname)

    destination_blob_pathname = zipfilename_with_path

    blob = bucket.blob(destination_blob_pathname)
    zipbytes = io.BytesIO(blob.download_as_string())

    if is_zipfile(zipbytes):
        with ZipFile(zipbytes, 'r') as myzip:
            for contentfilename in myzip.namelist():
                contentfile = myzip.read(contentfilename)
                blob = bucket.blob(zipfilename_with_path + "/" + contentfilename)
                blob.upload_from_string(contentfile)

zipextract("mybucket", "path/file.zip") # if the file is gs://mybucket/path/file.zip
