I am trying to execute acl command for copying the sharing settings for the newly copied objects from another bucket. Command which I am using:
gsutil acl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://storage-labs-commandline/WhatsApp Image 2019-10-23 at 18.31.31.jpeg
Error:
CommandException: "acl" command does not support "file://" URLs. Did you mean to use a gs:// URL?

The object name you have listed (WhatsApp Image 2019-10-23 at 18.31.31.jpeg) has spaces in it which the command line interprets as a separator for parameters. You need to either escape the spaces with a slash (WhatsApp Image 2019-10-23 at 18.31.31.jpeg) or surround the whole thing with double quotes ("gs://storage-labs-commandline/WhatsApp Image 2019-10-23 at 18.31.31.jpeg")
I got a similar error when i had the wrong context.
$ gsutil mb -class nearline -l northamerica-northeast1 gs://test-worst-storage-junk
CommandException: "mb" command does not support "file://" URLs. Did you mean to use a gs:// URL?
$ gsutil mb -c nearline -l northamerica-northeast1 gs://test-worst-storage-junk

I had the same error, CommandException: "acl" command does not support "file://" URLs. Did you mean to use a gs:// URL?. Thank you it is fixed using signal quotes to cover the spaces in the object name.
