Copying large number of files from Google Cloud Storage to Google Colab without loggin/prining












0















I have a large number of images (.jpg) stored in a Google Cloud Storage that I would like to use in Google Colab.



For this I use (in google Colab)



GCS_PATH = "gs://bucket/prefix"
!gsutil -m cp -r {GCS_PATH} ./data


However when running, Google colab prints each transfer to the cell's output which makes my browser slow. I was wondering if there is a --quiet or --silent flag for gsutil cp. I checked gsutil help cp but couldn't find anything.

          If you run gsutil help options, you'll find that it has a top-level -q flag that should do what you're wanting:



          -q          Causes gsutil to perform operations quietly, i.e., without
          reporting progress indicators of files being copied or removed,
          etc. Errors are still reported. This option can be useful for
          running gsutil from a cron job that logs its output to a file, for
          which the only information desired in the log is failures.


          And if you want absolutely no output ever, you can always redirect stdout and stderr to a separate file (e.g. on most *nix systems, this looks like somecommand >/dev/null 2>&1, but I'm not sure off the top of my head what files/devices Colab gives you write access to).
