Yes you can do that from Cloud Shell. use the scp command (ssh cp)

gcloud compute scp <instance name>:<file or dir to get> <destintation> --zone <Zone of the instance>

Of course, the port 22 must be open to internet (firewall rule with 0.0.0.0/0 on port 22) and you must have the required permission to log into the VM

EDIT 1

You can perform the same operation from your environment with gcloud CLI. The command is this one

gcloud cloud-shell scp localhost:<Local files> cloudshell:<Cloud shell dir>
