Can you rename files in Google Cloud Storage?
I am letting users upload photos, but I want to give them the ability to edit the photo, at least by changing the name they uploaded it with. I am using Javascript through Node.js.
Thanks!

This command:
gsutil mv gs://my_bucket/olddir gs://my_bucket/newdir
will do the job. If you have a large number of files you need to do a multi-processing move, so use this command:
gsutil -m mv gs://my_bucket/olddir gs://my_bucket/newdir
You can find this information in the docs.
Here is Python function performs a multi-threaded/multi-processing move:
from subprocess import call, CalledProcessError
def rename_object(self, old_dir, new_dir):
base_cmd = ["gsutil", "-m", "mv"]
old_path = "gs://{}".format(old_dir)
new_path = "gs://{}".format(new_dir)
cmd = base_cmd + [old_path, new_path]
try:
call(cmd)
except CalledProcessError as e:
print e
