10/07/2021, 10:59 PMyes use the javascript options, but more you need to read up on buckets and paths as you have to tell the system where to store the file

10/07/2021, 11:02 PMThe pathname is anything you want but must be unique. It can look like directory/filename.ext, but that is up to you.

10/07/2021, 11:09 PMWell your format looks good, so you might check you if have polices set wrong
n
Null
10/07/2021, 11:10 PMYep you guys are right its some type of policy
Null
10/07/2021, 11:11 PMnot sure what it means, i dont have any policies so do i need to create one?
g
garyaustin
10/07/2021, 11:11 PMin the UI there is a policy section under storage you have to set up for read/write/ etc
garyaustin
10/07/2021, 11:13 PMYou have to set policies the tutorial has a section on security that might help

Null
10/07/2021, 11:15 PMwhere can I find that? Can you link it?

10/07/2021, 11:18 PMhttps://supabase.io/docs/guides/storage#add-security-rules but you probably might also review RLS (row level security) for the database also. I don't remember how easy the UI was.

10/07/2021, 11:19 PMIt used to be fairly plain, but I believe they added RLS templates a few months ago to make it easier for developers less familiar with Supabase

Null
10/07/2021, 11:25 PMAlso my bucket is public, shouldnt policies not even be an issue?

10/08/2021, 12:32 AMWell, you had other issues to start so got thru those before the "bucket name" issue. You asked two parts wdym.... basically buckets are an AWS S3 concept and Supabase uses those for storage. Public/Private has to do with URL's and access to those with just URL (I believe). The RLS is the database side Supabase added to check uid's, etc. https://supabase.io/blog/2021/03/30/supabase-storage has a better view of what is going on.
