Error: storage/object-not-found when trying to upload large image file

I'm getting an error : storage/object-not-found when trying to upload a large image file in Google Cloud Storage using RxFire.

They say the image is not found in the bucket but when I check, i see them!

I tested with small images (100kb likely...) works great.

But tried with > 500kb images, doesn't work...

upload$
  .pipe(
    switchMap((event: any) => {
      const name = Math.random().toString(36).substring(5);
      const blob = event.target.files[0];
      const type = blob.type.replace('image/', '');
      const ref = storage.ref(`uploads/test/${name}.${type}`);
      return put(ref, blob);
    }),
    map(snapshot => snapshot),
    filter(snapshot => snapshot.totalBytes === snapshot.bytesTransferred),
    mergeMap(snapshot => getDownloadURL(snapshot.ref))
  )
  .subscribe(url => {
    console.log('Results', url)
  }, (error) => {
    // ERROR HERE
    console.log('error', error)
  })

Expected result : Upload working with big images

Actual results : Error

Uncaught t {code_: "storage/object-not-found", message_: "Firebase . 
Storage: Object 'uploads/test/7xpbilmb.jpeg' does not exist.", 
serverResponse_: "{↵  "error": {↵    "code": 404,↵    "message":

You can do it both ways.

1. Promises

    storageRef.put(blob, {customMetadata}).then(data => {
                   data.ref.getDownloadURL().then(url => {
                       // do whatever you want with url
                   });
               });
   

2. Observables

   downloadURL = new Subject();
   this.downloadURL.pipe(
                   map(obs => obs),
                   concatAll()
               ).subscribe(url => {
                   // do whatever you want with url
               });
   
   let task = ref.put(blob, {customMetadata});
   task.snapshotChanges().pipe(
                   finalize(() => this.downloadURL.next(ref.getDownloadURL()))
               ).subscribe();
   

This should be enough to get you your downloadURL. In case you wanna track upload progress with observables, here's the code for that:

task.percentageChanges().subscribe(progress => {
                console.log('upload progress: ', progress);
                if (res >= 100) {
                    // HOORAY!
                }
            });
