| 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. |
