Error

CommandException: "mb" command does not support "file://" URLs. Did you mean to use a gs:// URL?

Anyone to help?

Answer 1

Try this (bucket name argument at the end):

gsutil mb -p my-project-id gs://my-bucket-name

Answer 2

set cloud platform with the current project before you do anything else

gcloud config set project qwiklabs-gcp-PROJECT_ID

Answer 3

I used gs:// before the bucket name and that worked.

gsutil mb gs://this-is-also-a-bucket-name-23432

I did set the current project with as adviced above

gcloud config set project qwiklabs-gcp-PROJECT_ID
