File Upload by public is disabled

Moralis General
#1

I did the YouTube Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRjFn__kVJM for IPFS Uploader.

This is my error. I’ve looked at the other troubleshooting queries similar but solutions remains opaque.

What my console log reports:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: File upload by public is disabled. at handleError (moralis.js:26097:17)

_construct @ moralis.js:30531
Wrapper @ moralis.js:30881
(anonymous) @ moralis.js:12452
ParseError @ moralis.js:12503
handleError @ moralis.js:26097
await in handleError (async)
onclick @ ipfs.html:14

Thank you.

I think that you should authenticate first

#3

Great - what do you mean by authenticate…login?
If so, the login button doesn’t login to anything, as the tutorial never demonstrates the need to use this function.

Thank you kind raccoon.

#4

yes, to authenticate, upload requires for user to be authenticated

This function does nothing when I click on it, nor does the console.log return any prompt.

#6

You need MetaMask installed. You can also add console log in that function to see if it is really called. You can also use Moralis.authenticate

#7

Hey your syntax is old, as @cryptokid says use Moralis.authenticate

Moralis.Web3 are all outdated.

Also since you’re uploading file to IPFS, you can use uploadFolder Web3 API if you don’t wanna authenticate :raised_hands:

#8

Is there anyway around this? My minting is all happening on the backend, so there’s no front end auth happening.

#9

to clarify, there’s no front end web3/wallet auth happening.

#10

you can do it without moralis ? you can use nft.storage, piñata , ipfs gateway e.t.c

#11

yes i know, but all my other code/pages/routes are using moralis ipfs functions, so having totally different functional bases for IPFS I don’t like. web3 storage, pinata also use API keys which means I’d prefer to use them on the backend which is again totally different than Moralis. At that point I may as well refactor all my code to use web3 storage et al and completely stop using Morlais IPFS.

#12

the problem that you have now is that you can not upload to IPFS with a user that is not authenticated?

in that case you can use a dummy user to authenticate

#13

right, that’s the problem. I thought of some sort of proxy user, but now that you said that way, I think I get it. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
