Uploading to Cloud Storage - am I missing something obvious?

I'm trying to find a fast way to upload big folders to Google cloud storage. When I do it via the web browser, it often can't handle the size.

So I've been trying to use SDK Shell.

I write

gsutil cp C:\Folder\Sub folder - name  gs://bucketname/

I get No urls matched C:\Folder

Then I put the file name in quotes

gsutil cp C:\"Folder\Sub folder - name"  gs://bucketname/

I get told unrecognised scheme name gs

I've had a couple of friends look at it, they have no idea. I feel like I've tried so many iterations. Obviously I've missed something super basic? Any thoughts? It's a virtual machine running windows.

Thanks!

You have to use -r flag

The -R and -r options are synonymous. Causes directories, buckets, and bucket subdirectories to be copied recursively. If you neglect to use this option for an upload, gsutil will copy any files it finds and skip any directories. Similarly, neglecting to specify this option for a download will cause gsutil to copy any objects at the current bucket directory level, and skip any subdirectories.

gsutil cp -r  C:\Folder\sub-folder-name  gs://bucketname/
