Appwrite storage upload returns 401 unauthorized

[ArpitChaturvedi12]

I’m trying to upload a file to Appwrite storage from my frontend, but I keep getting a 401 unauthorized error.

I’ve already initialized the SDK and can connect to the project, but uploads fail every time.

Do I need to configure something specific for permissions or authentication?

yeah this usually ends up being permissions or auth

a few things to check:

• bucket permissions - if it’s too locked down uploads fail with 401, try role:all for testing
• auth / session - make sure the user is actually logged in, no session = 401
• api key usage - api keys don’t work in frontend, only server-side
• config - double check endpoint + project id, small mismatch can break auth

quick debug:
login → set role:all → try upload → if it works, it’s permissions
