Good Morning

I would like my Onpremise End users access GCS bucket  like NAS/VFS drive to access and download files securely without making bucket public  or via signed URLs. User need occasional access but consistent folder/link to access storage. 

Onpermise DC is connected to GCP Cloud using Interconnect and integrated with AD authentication.

Hello @avindia  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Did you've checked maybe Cloud Storage FUSE ? https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gcs-fuse

Or Google Cloud Filestore : https://cloud.google.com/filestore?hl=en

Thanks looked at both but it seems both are to make these mount points available on VM machine on cloud . FUSE it to make GCS bucket mount and Filestore as NFS mount point.

Filestore make more sense for remote/On-premise client however unfortunately I am using all serverless resources. I will have to deploy NFS Proxy VM(Compute)  to access Filestore.

Since my Data is already on GCP Bucket, can I use FUSE to mount GCS bucket to MS Windows remote/on-premise machine ?
