PowerShell Tools can't download files from cloud storage, but gsutil works

Question

Managed to get the PowerShell cmdlets installed and have been trying to download or list files in our bucket. I keep getting this message when I try any commands, as shown in the documentation.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

When I use gsutil, I can download files just fine.

Is there a setting I may have missed?

This error usually occurs when using a variable with no set value (not initialized). what is the value of the variable? — Sathi Aiswarya, Mar 28 '22 at 12:34

what is you powershell version? Make sure you have latest powershell version 5.0 installed on your machine.

I was facing similar issue and could resolve by installing powershell 5.0.

I hope this helps.
