   Thanks for reopening @potiuk :smile: 
   
   GCS provides a "Content-Encoding" meta key, however, it's optional so I 
guess not many people would use it. 
   
   Since XComs must be serializable, we have replaced the lines as follows in 
our work-around;
   ```
   # 
airflow.providers.google.cloud.transfers.gcs_to_local.GCSToLocalFilesystemOperator
 ~142
   - context['ti'].xcom_push(key=self.store_to_xcom_key, value=str(file_bytes))
   + context['ti'].xcom_push(key=self.store_to_xcom_key, value=str(file_bytes, 
encoding='utf-8'))
   ```
   
   But it could be safer to use `sys.getdefaultencoding()` instead of `utf-8`. 
Or even expose the encoding as a parameter to the class?
   
   What do you think @potiuk?
