    func putFile(from fileURL: URL) async throws -> Self {
        _ = try await storageReference.putFileAsync(from: fileURL)

    func delete() async throws {
        try await storageReference.delete()
    }
}

extension StorageFile {
    private static let storage = Storage.storage()
    
    static func with(namespace: String, identifier: String) -> StorageFile
    {
        let path = "\(namespace)/\(identifier)"
        let storageReference = storage.reference().child(path)
        return StorageFile(storageReference: storageReference)
    }

    
    static func atURL(_ downloadURL: URL) -> StorageFile {
        let storageReference = storage.reference(forURL: downloadURL.absoluteString)
        return StorageFile(storageReference: storageReference
        )
    }
}

By default it appears that firebase storage is set to deny all.

Go into firebase, then storage and then select rules.

Change this: allow read, write: if false;

To This: allow read, write: if request.auth != null;

This will allow the logged in user to use FireBase Storage.
