1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
2. Select your bucket from the list of buckets.
3. Click on the checkbox next to the file you want to download.
4. Click on the "Download" button at the top of the page.
5. Choose a location on your personal computer to save the file and click "Save."

Alternatively, you can use a command-line tool like gsutil to download the file. Here's how:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt on your personal computer.
2. Install gsutil if you haven't already using the instructions here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install

3. Use the following command to download the file from your bucket:

   gsutil cp gs://[BUCKETNAME]/[OBJECTNAME] [DESTINATION_PATH]

   Replace [BUCKETNAME], [OBJECTNAME], and [DESTINATION_PATH] with your bucket name, the file name/path, and the location on your personal computer where you want to save the file, respectively.
