- Connect to Firebase Storage
- Create a directory named “images”
- Upload a file in images directory
- Download a file from images directory

By default, Firebase Storage rules applies Authentication restriction. If user is authenticated, only then, he can perform operations on Firebase Storage, else he cannot. I have disabled the authentication part in this demo by updating Storage rules. Previously, rules were looking like:
service firebase.storage {
match /b/**something**.appspot.com/o {
match /{allPaths=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
But I changed to skip the authentication:
service firebase.storage {
match /b/**something**.appspot.com/o {
match /{allPaths=**} {
allow read, write;
}
}
}
