The\nfiles in this bucket are presented in a hierarchical structure, just like the\nfile system on your local hard disk, or the data in the Firebase Realtime Database.\nBy creating a reference to a file, your app gains access to it. These references\ncan then be used to upload or download data, get or update metadata or delete\nthe file. A reference can either point to a specific file or to a higher level\nnode in the hierarchy.\n\nIf you've used the [Firebase Realtime Database](/docs/database), these paths should\nseem very familiar to you. However, your file data is stored in\nCloud Storage, **not** in the Realtime Database.\n\nCreate a Reference\n\nIn order to upload or download files, delete files, or get or update metadata,\nyou must create a reference to the file you want to operate on. A reference\ncan be thought of as a pointer to a file in the cloud. References are\nlightweight, so you can create as many as you need, and they are also reusable for\nmultiple operations.\n\nTo create a reference, get an instance of the Storage service using\n`getStorage()` then call `ref()` with the service as an argument.\nThis reference points to the root of your Cloud Storage bucket. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\n// Get a reference to the storage service, which is used to create references in your storage bucket\nconst storage = getStorage();\n\n// Create a storage reference from our storage service\nconst storageRef = ref(storage);https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/create-reference/storage_create_ref.js#L8-L14\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Get a reference to the storage service, which is used to create references in your storage bucket\nvar storage = firebase.storage();\n\n// Create a storage reference from our storage service\nvar storageRef = storage.ref();https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/create-reference.js#L6-L10\n```\n\nYou can create a reference to a location lower in the tree,\nsay `'images/space.jpg'` by passing in this path as a second argument when\ncalling `ref()`. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\nconst storage = getStorage();\n\n// Create a child reference\nconst imagesRef = ref(storage, 'images');\n// imagesRef now points to 'images'\n\n// Child references can also take paths delimited by '/'\nconst spaceRef = ref(storage, 'images/space.jpg');\n// spaceRef now points to \"images/space.jpg\"\n// imagesRef still points to \"images\" \nhttps://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/create-reference/storage_create_ref_child.js#L8-L19\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Create a child reference\nvar imagesRef = storageRef.child('images');\n// imagesRef now points to 'images'\n\n// Child references can also take paths delimited by '/'\nvar spaceRef = storageRef.child('images/space.jpg');\n// spaceRef now points to \"images/space.jpg\"\n// imagesRef still points to \"images\" \nhttps://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/create-reference.js#L18-L25\n```\n\nNavigate with References\n\nYou can also use the `parent` and `root` properties to navigate up the\nfile hierarchy. `parent` navigates up one level,\nwhile `root` navigates all the way to the top. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\nconst storage = getStorage();\nconst spaceRef = ref(storage, 'images/space.jpg');\n\n// Parent allows us to move to the parent of a reference\nconst imagesRef = spaceRef.parent;\n// imagesRef now points to 'images'\n\n// Root allows us to move all the way back to the top of our bucket\nconst rootRef = spaceRef.root;\n// rootRef now points to the root \nhttps://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/create-reference/storage_navigate_ref.js#L8-L19\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Parent allows us to move to the parent of a reference\nvar imagesRef = spaceRef.parent;\n// imagesRef now points to 'images'\n\n// Root allows us to move all the way back to the top of our bucket\nvar rootRef = spaceRef.root;\n// rootRef now points to the root \nhttps://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/create-reference.js#L33-L39\n```\n\n`child()`, `parent`, and `root` can be chained together multiple times, as\neach returns a reference.

These properties\nget the full path of the file, the name of the file,\nand the bucket the file is stored in. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\nconst storage = getStorage();\nconst spaceRef = ref(storage, 'images/space.jpg');\n\n// Reference's path is: 'images/space.jpg'\n// This is analogous to a file path on disk\nspaceRef.fullPath;\n\n// Reference's name is the last segment of the full path: 'space.jpg'\n// This is analogous to the file name\nspaceRef.name;\n\n// Reference's bucket is the name of the storage bucket where files are stored\nspaceRef.bucket;https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/create-reference/storage_ref_properties.js#L8-L22\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Reference's path is: 'images/space.jpg'\n// This is analogous to a file path on disk\nspaceRef.fullPath;\n\n// Reference's name is the last segment of the full path: 'space.jpg'\n// This is analogous to the file name\nspaceRef.name;\n\n// Reference's bucket is the name of the storage bucket where files are stored\nspaceRef.bucket;https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/create-reference.js#L60-L69\n```\n\nLimitations on References\n\nReference paths and names can contain any sequence of valid Unicode characters,\nbut certain restrictions are imposed including:\n\n1. Total length of `reference.fullPath` must be between 1 and 1024 bytes when UTF-8 encoded.\n2. No Carriage Return or Line Feed characters.\n3. Avoid using `#`, `[`, `]`, `*`, or `?`, as these do not work well with other tools such as the [Firebase Realtime Database](/docs/database) or [gsutil](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil).\n\nFull Example \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\nconst storage = getStorage();\n\n// Points to the root reference\nconst storageRef = ref(storage);\n\n// Points to 'images'\nconst imagesRef = ref(storageRef, 'images');\n\n// Points to 'images/space.jpg'\n// Note that you can use variables to create child values\nconst fileName = 'space.jpg';\nconst spaceRef = ref(imagesRef, fileName);\n\n// File path is 'images/space.jpg'\nconst path = spaceRef.fullPath;\n\n// File name is 'space.jpg'\nconst name = spaceRef.name;\n\n// Points to 'images'\nconst imagesRefAgain = spaceRef.parent;https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/create-reference/storage_ref_full_example.js#L8-L30\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Points to the root reference\nvar storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();\n\n// Points to 'images'\nvar imagesRef = storageRef.child('images');\n\n// Points to 'images/space.jpg'\n// Note that you can use variables to create child values\nvar fileName = 'space.jpg';\nvar spaceRef = imagesRef.child(fileName);\n\n// File path is 'images/space.jpg'\nvar path = spaceRef.fullPath;\n\n// File name is 'space.jpg'\nvar name = spaceRef.name;\n\n// Points to 'images'\nvar imagesRef = spaceRef.parent;https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/create-reference.js#L75-L93\n```\n\nNext, let's learn how to\n[upload files](/docs/storage/web/upload-files) to\nCloud Storage."]]
