I'm storing objects in buckets on google cloud storage. I would like to provide a http url to the object for download. Is there a standard convention or way to expose files stored in cloud storage as http urls?

If the file is not public, you can use this link to the file and it will authenticate with your signed in Google account:
https://storage.cloud.google.com/{bucket-name}/{folder/filename}
Otherwise generate a signed URL:
gsutil signurl -d 10m Desktop/private-key.json gs://example-bucket/cat.jpeg
