📝 Complete Configuration Guide

Step 1: Enable Cloud Storage API

Click "Setup Now" button above
Click "ENABLE" on the API page

Step 2: Create Storage Bucket

Go to Cloud Storage Browser
Click "CREATE BUCKET"
Choose unique bucket name (e.g., "myapp-downloads")
Select location type (Region recommended for lower costs)
Choose storage class: Standard (for frequently accessed files)
Set access control: Uniform (recommended)
Click "CREATE"

Step 3: Create Service Account

Go to Service Accounts
Click "CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT"
Name: "storage-admin"
Grant role: "Storage Admin"
Click "CREATE KEY" → JSON format
Download and secure the JSON key file

Step 4: Set Bucket Permissions

Go to your bucket → "PERMISSIONS" tab
Click "ADD PRINCIPAL"
Add your service account email
Assign role: "Storage Object Admin"
Save

Step 5: Upload File Example

// Node.js with @google-cloud/storage
const {Storage} = require('@google-cloud/storage');
const storage = new Storage({
  keyFilename: 'path/to/service-account-key.json'
});

async function uploadFile(filePath, destFileName) {
  const bucketName = 'myapp-downloads';
  await storage.bucket(bucketName).upload(filePath, {
    destination: destFileName,
  });
  console.log(`${filePath} uploaded to ${bucketName}`);
}

Step 6: Generate Signed URL (Download Link)

// Generate temporary download URL
async function generateSignedUrl(fileName) {
  const options = {
    version: 'v4',
    action: 'read',
    expires: Date.now() + 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
  };
  
  const [url] = await storage
    .bucket('myapp-downloads')
    .file(fileName)
    .getSignedUrl(options);
    
  return url;
}

Step 7: Set Lifecycle Rules (Auto-Delete)

Go to bucket → "LIFECYCLE" tab
Click "ADD A RULE"
Action: "Delete object"
Condition: Age = 1 day (delete files after 24 hours)
This keeps storage costs low
