How to move objects between buckets on Google Cloud Platform?

Newbie here, I apologize for my ignorance.

I have 2 buckets on google cloud platform. Each bucket has folders with objects in those folders.

/bucket2/cloud-backup-archive/4-media set/object

/bucket/cloud-backup/4-media set/object

I want to move all the objects from the bucket2 named directories to the bucket named directories.

I have tried using transfer on the console and that doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to drill down to the directories. It seems to only allow the contents of a bucket to be transffered.

Thank you for the help.

Kevin

One of the possible ways to move the specific objects from one bucket to another is to use gsutil.

To move all objects from specific subdirectory in bucket2 to specific subdirectory in bucket, use the following command:

gsutil mv "gs://bucket2/cloud-backup-archive/4-media set/*" "gs:bucket/cloud-backup/4-media set/"

Note if you have a large amount of objects you might want to use gsutil -m mv option to perform a multi-threaded/multi-processing move.
