Write to Google Cloud Storage from Cloud Function (python)

Question

I am trying to upload a file to google cloud storage from within a cloud function. I can't import the cloud storage library into my function, though.

Can cloud storage be used from within cloud functions in this manner?

Cloud Function

from google.cloud import storage  def upload_blob(bucket_name, blob_text, destination_blob_name):     """Uploads a file to the bucket."""     storage_client = storage.Client()     bucket = storage_client.get_bucket(bucket_name)     blob = bucket.blob(destination_blob_name)      blob.upload_from_string(blob_text)      print('File {} uploaded to {}.'.format(         source_file_name,         destination_blob_name))  def log_data(request):     request_json = request.get_json()     BUCKET_NAME = 'my-bucket'     BLOB_NAME = 'test-blob'     BLOB_STR = '{"blob": "some json"}'      upload_blob(BUCKET_NAME, BLOB_STR, BLOB_NAME)     return f'Success!' 

Error

Deployment failure: Function load error: Code in file main.py can't be loaded.   File "/user_code/main.py", line 1, in <module>     from google.cloud import storage ImportError: cannot import name 'storage' from 'google.cloud' (unknown location)

You need to add the google-cloud-storage package to your requirements.txt file to install it in the Cloud Functions environment.
