Create a Bucket in Google Cloud Platform
Overview
Once you have your project created in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) you can create a GCP Bucket. A bucket is used to store data. With GCP storage you can manage files and folders using the same tools and APIs you use to manage files in a standard container. GCP Buckets are logical containers for your data.
