We might need some files in the Boot disk rather than bucket. To add the files into boot disk, we have to give the access permissions for the user

Open Cloud Console.

Click SSH of the instance which you want to add the files.

Type     

$             pwd                                                    #show the path of file.

  ls                                                         #list the directory

$             mkdir <directory-name> #It will create a directory

gsutil cp gs://<bucket-name>/<file-name-with-extension> /home/<account-name>/<directory- name>/
