1. Firebase Storage Setup API Issue

   I'm running the Web/APP builder platform using user's own Firebase. However, when user is creating platform through my service, Storage setup API is limited to existing users who have previously set up Cloud Storage. I have discovered that the existed Storage Setup API is available for both Spark and Blaze plans but not for new Firebase user who has never setup the Storage.
   Please provide the Storage Setup API also for new firebase user

2. Firebase storage rules: Support for multi-database lookup

   This is a documented limitation and as such not an idea, but putting it out here to see if it get vote-traction. See the warning at the bottom of the page here:

   https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/security/rules-conditions

   As of Feb. 25. 2025 it says

   "Warning: Storage Rules can only access documents from the default Cloud Firestore database when multiple databases are active."

   We have a project where we're doing tenant partitioning in both Firestore and firebase storage. The primary reason for creating separate buckets and databases is to be able to have storage in different customer preferred regions, and to achieve other isolations which are beneficial (backup/restore recovery scenarios etc.).

   Most files in firebase storage are protected by security rules that look up a document from the firestore database and checks access using a fairly standard acl scheme.

   This does not work unfortunately in a multi-db setup, which prevent this type of acl based storage security rules.

   I've not found any workarounds except an approach there the storage object Ids are long unique Ids that can't be "guessed" or brute force generated to look up an object in storage, but this is not as clean as being able to explicitly check access rights (and other logic on top of that using the rules language).

   The fact that it works in single/default db makes it feel like a significant takeback that the security design has the by changed when introducing multiple databases to the project.

   I think this is a common case for solutions doing tenant separation where there is a need to have objects in storage protected by acls.

4. Plano Blaze

   Wow, I'm not able to create my Cloud Billing account 😔 I tried several ways, it just gives an error, I think I'll have to migrate to another database! It was so good when it was still possible to use the Storage without the Blaze Plan 🤦‍♂️, now I'm trying to hire the Blaze Plan and I'm not able to! Google makes it very difficult for its customers.

5. Please change "Get Started" button to "Create Firebase Storage".

   Please do kindly consider changing the button name from "Get Started" more specifically to "Create Firebase Storage" within Firebase console. One gets the impression via "Get Started" that the user is in for marketing fluff than actual and crucial utility. Thank you.

7. Cloud Storage

   Hi, good day.

   I am an aspiring developer currently exploring cloud technologies. I’ve been trying to access Firebase Cloud Storage using the Spark plan, as 1 GB of storage is more than enough for my current needs. However, I’ve encountered difficulties because it requires a billing statement to proceed, which is beyond my current means.

   I’m reaching out because I believe having a free, accessible environment is crucial for new developers like me who are just starting out. We understand that maintaining cloud infrastructure is costly, but access to even limited resources can be a great opportunity for us to learn and grow without the burden of upfront costs.

   I hope there’s some way you could consider a more accessible path for those of us who are eager to learn but constrained financially. Thank you for your time and understanding.

8. Log thirdPartyPrincipal in storage audit logs, similar to firestore

   It seems GCP audit logs can capture all the operations on the firebase storage bucket, but the actor that shows up in the logs is a service account, rather than the end user. Is there a way to capture the end user who is requesting storage objects?

   When I look at audit logs for firestore, I see a thirdPartyPrincipal that includes the end user, but this doesn't show up in the storage audit logs.

11. Configuring CORS for a bucket is currently a pain

    The current procedure for setting CORS rules for a bucket is horrendous from a developer standpoint. One has to download and install a CLI called gsutil, which requires Python. The CLI must be configured and authenticated. Then one has to create a JSON-file with the desired CORS-rules and run a single command with the CLI. How is this not possible to accomplish in the web GUI?

12. I need a way in Google Cloud to redirect the public URL of jpeg files of my bucket to a Google Function endpoint for checking headers

    https://storage.googleapis.com/bucket/folder/file.jpg

    This is an example of a jpeg file in my Firebase Storage. A lot of websites are using my images illegally. I need a way to add a background check and process behind each access to the images... In PHP it is easy to do because the script can deliver the image, but here ? I don't know. I need a check on the headers of the website hosting the image, if the header referer is not OK, I want to redirect to an image saying that the real image is not available, or a 403

13. Phishing on Firebase - API Abuse channel for trusted vetted security partners

    I would like to explore the opportunity to become a partner to GCP / Firebase.

    How can security companies who deal with phishing and enforcement of AuP ToS breaches submit data to Google Firebase for quicker enforcement when there is abuse?

    Google is a very big company, but finding an actual human who works for Google is seemingly a very hard task - always automated reporting systems, which is understandable.
    
    But it feels like dealing with a faceless behemoth,
    Thus I want to explore the options to becoming a known vetted partner to Google Cloud platform, so GCP and Firebase pays attention to the valid abuse reports i have to share and acts on them accordingly in a timely manner.

    Right now abuse reports dispatched to Google Firebase feel like screaming in a void, due to the giant behemoth Google is.

    My problem is concretely with GCP and FIREBASE.

    I represent government entities, fin tech companies, telcos, banks, automotive sector, insurance companies and many others who are often targeted by phishers and the turnaround times are sadly not very good, which opens a window of opportunity to threat actors and phishers.

14. Add support for deleting directories and their contents in Firebase Storage

    Iterating over list of files and deleting each is wasteful as a call has to be made using the API for each file, and this can get expensive if a lot of delete operations are involved.

    I suggest a single API call that deletes all data given the required parameters. Further, the response from Firebase API will be that it has received the instruction to delete, and not when it has completed deleting as the operation might take quite a while.

    A function could look like this.

    deleteFolder({
    url: 'path',
    responsetype: 'requestreceived', // Another could be 'deletecomplete'
    recursivedelete: true, // Default is false. A bit similar to rm -rf
    })

16. Support "Continuing Uploads Across Process Restarts" on iOS

    I work for a company that enable people to record sports using video and the storage footprint are often very huge (10GB+). While building an app for iOS, I notice that Firebase don't support continuing uploads across process restarts on iOS which is a major deal-breaker for continuing using Cloud Storage for Firebase.
    I see support for this on Android and I will encourage you to add this to iOS in the future. Ref: https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/android/upload-files#continuing_uploads_across_process_restarts

20. Adding new google cloud locations to firebase services

    The main idea is to have firebase services available in any location that is available in GCP. For example, a new middle east location is available on google cloud platform (e.g. Doha, Qatar), and it will make a difference in performance/pricing to have these locations in firebase as well; especially that firebase services are well-know and used in middle east.
