*[BUG?] [HELP NEEDED]*
Hi everyone, i'm having an issue with prefect on windows.
*On Windows,*
• We've bumped into an issue that prefect-gcp is actually converting the `/` (forward slashes) into `\\` double backward slashes during the upload tasks,
• Which translates into the blob being named, for example, as:
``` foo\\bar\\foobar.txt```
• Instead of actually:
```foo/bar/foobar.txt ```
Which would be represented as "folders" in the GCS Web interface.
We're not sure if the same issue happens on macOS or Linux

We've tried not only the `upload_from_path` but also the `upload_from_file_object` <https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-gcp/cloud_storage/>
Thanks in advance for any feedback

Hi there! It looks like you've found a bug. Could you file an issue here with a minimum reproducible example (something that we can essentially copy, paste, and run without modification) so that we can get an engineer on it?

<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-gcp/issues>

the issue is filed with as much detail as I could. I can provide more information if needed.
Thank's again

<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-gcp/pull/117> fixes the problem for me

you just have to specify before that you want `path = Path(path).as_posix()`

Excellent - thanks for keeping me posted!
