When trying to deploy Firebase storage rules, you might encounter Error: Failed to create server directory. Please contact support@flutterflow.io. This error can occur even after you have enabled Firebase storage in your Firebase Project linked to your FlutterFlow Project. This is likely because you have not set up Cloud Firestore correctly in your Firebase Project.

Open your Firebase project and navigate to project settings, then set Default CGP resource location to the region that you prefer.

In your Firebase project, navigate to the Build section and select Storage. Click get started and then set the rules to testing. In the location segment, set the same location as the one in the project settings.

In your Firebase project, navigate to the Build section and select Firestore Database. In some cases, cloud firebase is set to Data Store Mode, which is not recommended when working with FlutterFlow, so you will need to change Cloud Firestore from Data Store Mode to Native Mode.

Open your FlutterFlow Project and re-deploy Firebase Storage Rules.

The issue was not resolved.
