Google Bucket remote load settings

ASP.NET Maker General Discussion (ASP.NET Maker)

I am trying to setup load files to Google Bucket… It looks like there are 3 places to set file settings, so I have 3 questions.
I have read all the help files and tried entering and testing all of them, although the file loads fine remotely and I can see the image, that file is not loading to my bucket.

  1. In the advanced settings for remote file loading to google bucket… This is what’s stated…
    Google Storage credential file (.json) Use with Google Cloud. Specifies the downloaded credential file (.json) on your PC.
    Question : Must this be the file location on the drive eg: C:\Users\xx\files\xxxx-storage-xxx or the name of the .json file eg: xxxxx.json ?
  2. Also in general options Upload Folder
    Question: must we specify the google drive as in https://storage.cloud.google.com/xxxxx/ or must this just be /uploads ?
  3. And then in edit tag.
    Question: is this correct upload folder “/myfiles”

Thanks, appreciate any help

  1. The “Google Storage credential file (.json)” setting should specify the location of the file
  2. You can specify the google storage as a global upload folder or field specific upload folder. Please read Notes in Upload folder.

In General setting upload folder I have <https://storage.cloud.google.com/xxxxx/ >When using the exact same code as in the ASNM help files google.storage://my-bucket/ it just say failed to load. Copied direct from help file for testing.I’ve tried using just my bucket name and also the subfolders, so I’ve gone back to <https://storage.cloud.google.com/xxxxx/ >In the edit tag for Upload folder I have “foldername” I have tried this with empty, with / prefix and sufix.In advanced settings I have the path to my json file on my PCThe files load fine on my server and I can see the image, but nothing load to the GDrive bucket. The drive bucket permissions are set to public and I can load files manually.
It does not load to my root bucket or the subfolders.

Thanks

As explained:

The “Google Storage credential file (.json)” setting should specify the location of the file
You can specify the google storage as a global upload folder or field specific upload folder. Please read Notes in Upload folder.

From the help file, the path should be “google.storage://my-bucket/”:

The path supports AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage, but you must specify your upload path in the following format: aws.s3://my-bucket/, azure.blob://my-container/, or google.storage://my-bucket/.

Both those instruction have been followed…
As indicated when you use google.storage://my-bucket/ it give pop up failed to createIt seems this must have Https in front… but that’s not what the help file saysThanks

When using the option to use the field file upload, I get this error.An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
FormatException: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters.
System.Convert.FromBase64CharPtr(Char* inputPtr, int inputLength)Thanks

Please make sure that you are using the latest version (ASP.NET Maker 24.8.0) and have updated to the latest template (Tools → Update Template).The generated appsettings.json should be base64 encoded:

    "google.storage": {
        "ConnectionString": "google.storage://cred=ewog...;bucket={0};",
        "Url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/{1}/{2}"
    },
