google storage not work

@newstube

I think it should work with the workaround described at:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/wordpress-plugins/issues/38#issuecomment-284206719

Can you try that?

@jteague

Does the following workaround work for you (theoretically it should work)?

If it works, I think we only need to update the README.

@tmatsuo thanks for the info!
I still have an issue.
I tried you’re guidelines about the key, but I need some help for the storage permissions.
I’m creating a brand new bucket but the plugin does not recognize it.
Should I assign some specific permissions to the bucket.
I’m trying to connect to a free trial account, in which I enabled billing.
Thank you in advance.

Please refer to https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/making-data-public for instructions on how to make your files publicly available. For serving static content like uploads images, videos, and documents like you would with WP media library files, you will need to make the files publicly available. I hope this helps.

@jteague thanks for th reply.
unfortunately i cannot make public a whole directory. i must specify the files. but the files are not yet uploaded to the bucket. i have also added at bucket permission a new enity as User with the name allUsers and tested all the possible rights (reader/writer/owner) without any luck.
the error that the plugin returns is “The bucket does not exist, or is not writable” and i’m sure how i should overcome this.

@tmatsuo, @jteague is there any guide or tutorial to set the right permissions on the bucket?
thanks again

@ciricaki

This explain all method you can use to access objects in a bucket. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/

Making the bucket publicly available isn’t the same as giving a directory on a webserver unrestricted permissions. It just opens an external path to write your files from the credentialed external source, in this case your WordPress instance defined location, and read access with known URLs that match a filename, which you can do with an uploads folder already.

@ciricaki33

The trick is to configure the object default permission, not just the permission of the bucket.

You can click the vertical three dots on the right as shown in the image:

Then click Add item
Then choose User in the ENTITY field, then type allUsers in the NAME field.

Click Save

After this operation, newly uploaded images should be publicly available.

We just released a new version with updated readme explaining how to configure the service account on non-GCP environment.

Closing. Thanks for the report!
