To create a bucket:

```

Move files to bucket

```bash
# Select the project
gcloud config set project <project_id>

# Move local file to bucket
gsutil mv <local_file> <bucket_name>

# Example. Not that this removes the local file
gsutil mv README.md gs://tinybucket9922

# Show bucket size
gsutil du gs://tinybucket9922
```

Once files are moved to GCE you can browse and manage the file at [http://cloud.google.com](http://cloud.google.com). Select the project > Storage > Cloud Storage > Storage Browser
