I have a project that will require analysing daily, weekly and monthly excel reports. I currently have +- 8 years of data, and around 1,500 files (~2gb). What is the most cost effective/efficient way to load these files to google storage?
You can use gcloud locally and upload the files as a batch to a specified bucket. You could use a bash script to run daily or weekly depending on the need of the data retention. I would suggest looking at this link: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/storage-data-transfer/how-to-save-on-google-cloud-storage-costs on costs and usage.
