what does blobstream do?

blobstream is a variable that contains the stream of the blob data of your file... blobstream "mount" or "transform" blob data in your file....

The picture I upload to firebase is successful, but it can not loading, and when I connect to the picture link, it said:

AccessDenied
Access denied.

Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object.
How can I fix this

You may modify the url value to something like this for an expirable public url
const url = fileUpload.getSignedUrl({ action: "read", expires: "02-02-2025", });
