Hello,

Do you know the command line to create a directory into a bucket?

something like : gsutil mkdir gs://bucket-name

Thanks

solution found.

create an empty file inside bucket and then remove empty file.

Directories don't actually exist in buckets. See <article001>. It explains: 

"gsutil provides the illusion of a hierarchical file tree atop the "flat" name space supported by the Google Cloud Storage service. To the service, the object gs://your-bucket/abc/def.txt is just an object that happens to have "/" characters in its name. There is no "abc" directory; just a single object with the given name."

You don't need to create a "directory" to add a file to it. It's mostly for the naming convention that "/"'s are allowed.

You can also use the GUI console to create a folder. Simply go to your bucket in the console & click the create folder button. More about folder creation here.
