I'm trying to run gsutil in the shared environment and I see a really weird behaviour. When I run it being in the root of the filesystem, as well as anywhere else - everything is fine, but when I open the shared drive mounted directory it fails with this:

$: gsutil cannot open path of the current working directory: Permission denied

The shared drive folder itself is the Google Fileshare NFS with drwxrwxr-x, and the user is in the group that can do rwx.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

update: The issue was in the snap way of the installation of the gcloud-sdk, I'm not sure the exact nature of the problem, but reinstalling it following the google-sdk istallation manual with apt-get solved the issue.

    gsutil stores information in subdirectories in the user's home directory. When you reference gsutil from a mounted directory the paths and user home directory are different. gsutil should be installed per user and not via a shared folder mechanism. The exception is if the shared folder is a subdirectory to the user's home directory and gsutil is installed after this drive mapping is complete. – John Hanley Mar 09 '20 at 19:05
  • hm, I don't think that this is my case. GSutil was installed with snap package manager which somehow was wrong, I reinstalled it with apt-get and everything worked like a charm! – Anton Mar 09 '20 at 19:07
  • My comments are correct for how gsutil works. You should have edited your question with your findings as a broken installation is a different matter. – John Hanley Mar 09 '20 at 19:09
  • @JohnHanley sure, thanks for the update! – Anton Mar 09 '20 at 19:26
