Copy files from bucket to local dir

Question

I want to copy files from my bucket but only files/directories that not exist on local drive.

Is it possible?

I tried something like

gsutil -m rsync -n -r "MyBUCKET" "my_local_dir"

but something is wrong.

Answer 1

You should try using the recently-added -i flag, which ignores existing files on the destination. That flag was added in this commit and should be available as of gsutil v4.59.
