Urgent: Firebase file upload not working

As showed in npm/firebase, Server side Firebase npm module is not support. Instead, you can use the gcloud Node.js client .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

var gcloud = require('gcloud');

var gcs = gcloud.storage({
  projectId: 'firebase-project',
  keyFilename: 'firebase-key.json'
});

var bucket = gcs.bucket('petertest-25efd.appspot.com');

bucket.upload('/photos/zoo/zebra.jpg', function(err, file) {
  if (!err) {
    // "zebra.jpg" is now in your bucket. 
  }
});

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is the error:

{ [ApiError: Forbidden]
  code: 403,
  errors: [ { domain: 'global', reason: 'forbidden', message: 'Forbidden' } ],
  response: undefined,
  message: 'Forbidden' }

Comment 9 above shows the bucket permissions, and your service account should be added as an owner/editor of the projectid.appspot.com bucket (depending on how you configured the service account it may or may not be that way). You’ll need it on both the default bucket ACLs as well as the default object ACLs.

The docs on service accounts for GCS buckets are here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication#service_accounts but might not be terribly helpful.

Also - does the service account inside firebase-key.json have access to the bucket you’re trying to access?
