Firebase admin upload PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

I am using Firebase admin to upload a 250MB video file to cloud storage.

Heres my code:

await bucket.upload(downloadVideoResponse.filePath, { destination, resumable: false })

This code throws the error:

PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

How do I remove the file size upload limit? I've look at Firebase storage rules but I do not have any rules imposing a file size limit.

Solution

  • This hints at an upload limit for non resumable files:

    The answer is simply as follows:

    await bucket.upload(downloadVideoResponse.filePath, { destination, resumable: true })

    Which seems to remove the file size limit.
