Good morning. This is my first post. I probably wouldn’t write it if it wasn’t for the problem in thunkable, I can’t upload the file to fibase storage. I am using the web api but only the minimum capacity file is created but the file itself is not uploaded. This is a file directly from the camera, but when I tried to send the same file, the effect is the same. Maybe I have something wrong in the header. Ask for help from advanced colleagues. ![for2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/d/fd9f325e8ec045612cff9b53c4b0a5114d9536bf.jpeg) ![for1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/a/0a6829d1644a84dd436cadc9987653f586e969f6.jpeg) ---

When you post a question, you need to include screenshots of your blocks and/or a link to your project. ---

Hello @whiterabbitstudio202 I’ve already created an app that uses the API Block to send an image file. I used Web Viewer and HTML code to convert the image file to base64 and then send it through the API. This is the code for HTML: ```auto Convert local file to Base64 ``` You can find the project [here](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/6439364670a0fe62a9e6edf7/5b9ddc5e-5b0a-44ae-8c4c-f047c0fb634e/settings) ---

This method works, but it doesn’t quite send the data stream to the created file, but the file has errors and I can’t open the image. ![for1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/a/6acecae64962e47ef8d554d3eaa0292a6b49d591.jpeg) ---

The interesting thing is that when I use your script, @ioannis, it returns a base64 image string starting with "RESULT: ". If I manually remove that and assign the rest of the string to an image, it displays the image. But if I use a text block to remove that text, it fails to display the image.

Google storage requires the following format ```auto curl -X POST --data-binary @OBJECT_LOCATION \ -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: OBJECT_CONTENT_TYPE" \ "https://storage.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/o?uploadType=media&name=OBJECT_NAME" ``` The screenshot is not showing all required fields. ---

Still no base64 convert block. It’s been well over a year in the making ---

Hello @jared! Currently there are no plans to release the component you are inquiring about. I apologize for any disappointment this causes. Our team has decided, for now, not to pursue this release for some reasons. If anything changes and we release the component in the future, we will of course announce it. ---

Well how about a run JavaScript block so these janky webviewer workarounds can go out the window. > [@WEB API Firebase Storage It does not upload the file to the server](https://community.thunkable.com/t/web-api-firebase-storage-it-does-not-upload-the-file-to-the-server/2369895/4): > > Hello @whiterabbitstudio202 I’ve already created an app that uses the API Block to send an image file.
