GCS Storage Optimization #

With data volumes continuously growing, optimizing Google Cloud Storage usage can lead to significant cost savings. To tackle this challenge, I developed a Python utility that helps summarize and analyze the stored data, making it easier to identify large files and folders on GCS.

While identifying the total storage cost on a bucket is relatively straight forward using the GCP billing report, identifying large files and folders on buckets can be a tedious task. This utility helps to quickly identify large blobs / files and folders.
