We recently wrote an overview of Google Cloud Storage classes. However, working with various storage classes is not limited to selecting them. Google also allows you to set lifecycle rules for buckets. Naturally, MSP360 Explorer is capable of creating these rules.
Before we get to the part with lifecycle rules, please bear in mind one provision regarding your Google Cloud Storage account. The authentication method should be OAuth 2.0 (either Installed Application or Service Account). Access & Secret key is deemed deprecated by Google and will not allow you to create any rules.
Now that we've set up our account correctly, let's proceed to creating rules. Right-click on any of your buckets and click Bucket Lifecycle.
The newly appeared window enables you to add, edit, or remove lifecycle rules. For the sake of this example, we're just gonna add a new rule. Click Add.
Now you can minutely adjust the rule as seen fit.
A rule can be of 2 types: delete and set storage class. The monikers are self-explanatory.
Furthermore, rules are applicable to objects depending on the following parameters:
