I wanted to try the latest Firebase now has Storage but I got this error "Can't connect to server. Try again in a few minutes. RETRY " when I go to the new console, Storage, Files.
How do I solve this? Thanks.
Since all Cloud Storage bucket names across the entire system must be unique, this new bucket is named “[YOUR-PROJECT-ID]. appspot.com”, where YOUR-PROJECT-ID is the globally unique ID of your project. You normally don't even need to know this bucket name, as it's baked into your Firebase app configuration file.
Image URL is obtained by uploading an image to firebase bucket and then that can return back a URL that URL is a permanent URL which can be open anywhere. Then a user can use this URL for any purpose in its application.
There is a known bug where if you are logged in to more than one google account, the account switching isn't done properly and it messes things up. I filed a support ticket and got back the following reply:
Thanks for reaching out and reporting this.
We are working on a fix for this. We currently don't have an ETA when a fix will be released.
Current work around would be just to have one Google account logged in.
Cheers, XYZ
The storage panel uses some APIs which are enabled when you create your project, but there can be a delay in the set up completing. Try returning to the console after some time, and refreshing the storage panel, and you should be good to go!
