Rank 2: Process
I am creating a blogging platform where user can post their own images into a bucket. User can also see their list of files. Currently I list all user's file by using storage.listFiles. It worked perfectly, but then I realized user B can also see fetch what user A uploaded. If I made the bucket into "private" and remove anyone to read (set its permission specifically to only use File Permission), then guests cannot see the images inside the post.
Is there any way where user can upload the image file to be publicly available for viewing but not added into storage.listFiles?
Summary
The user wants to list their own uploaded files but prevent others from listing files. One solution is to use a database collection to store additional data about the file, including the user who uploaded it. Then, you can filter the list of files by the user's ID. By setting the bucket to "private" and removing read permissions, the uploaded images will not be visible to guests, but they will still be publicly available for viewing.
