How can I mount a Google Cloud Storage bucket as a disk or folder with a standard path such as ~/myBucket on a Google Compute instance?
Everything is in the same project with full access.

With the new beta gcsfuse this is now possible.
gcsfuse myBucket ~/path/to/mount

2@wayofthefuture given your name your question confuses me. Kidding, you should be able to use mingw or something. Docker would be great. – BAR Jan 20 '17 at 18:07

$ gcsfuse {{bucket name}} ~{{mounting path}}

If you want to mount gcs on instance permanently then refer to this doc which says https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/mounting.md
If you would prefer to mount the file system automatically,
you may need to pass the x-systemd.requires=network-online.target or _netdev option to ensure that gcsfuse waits for the network system to be ready prior to mounting
my-bucket /mount/point gcsfuse rw,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,user
You can also mount the file system automatically as a non-root user by specifying the options uid and/or gid:
my-bucket /mount/point gcsfuse rw,_netdev,allow_other,uid=1001,gid=1001
