Local-device storage can't handle a viral moment
|
|
Meet the demand with Cloud Storage for Firebase
|
|
|
|
|
Hi there,
|
|
You had the idea. You built the prototype. Now what?
|
|
Going from internal beta to hard launch is stressful enough without the added pressures of growing pains. As your user base grows, local-device storage can only get you so far.
|
|
Cloud Storage for Firebase preps your app for all things growth, including increased user generated content, network interruptions, and in-app AI model use—ensuring a seamless user experience even during traffic spikes.
|
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps below to get started. Plus, you may be eligible to receive $300 in Welcome credit to use on Cloud Storage and more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1:
|
|
Click “Get started” to create a billing account, if you don’t already have one.
|
|
|
You're eligible for $300 in Welcome credit if you’ve never had a Google Cloud Billing account before. To receive the credit, you’ll be asked to verify your identity with a form of payment.
|
|
Step 2:
|
|
Select your app's Firebase project, or a project will be auto-created for you.
|
|
|
Step 3:
|
|
Click “Upgrade project” to link your billing account and enable Cloud Storage for Firebase.
|
|
|
If your project is already linked to a billing account, click “Get started” to proceed to Step 4.
|
|
Step 4:
|
|
Set up Cloud Storage directly in Firebase and connect it to your app.
