The issue being addressed here for Firefiles is to integrate and implement the Wasabi storage platform into the existing codebase. By adding support for Wasabi as an additional cloud storage provider, Firefiles' capabilities will be extended and further amplify its goal of having a versatile selection of storage providers.
Users come from different technical backgrounds and levels of expertise, this proves the importance of keeping a selection of storage providers all with varying sets of preferences. Offering the ability to manage data with numerous providers adds to the flexibility that Firefiles has over other cloud storage platforms.

What challenges did you encounter?
The two most challenging roadblocks faced during this project were the hosting of Firefiles on our local machine and the CORS configuration. The local hosting was challenging in the sense that the specifications of environmental variables were vague and needed research to properly deploy. As for CORS configuration, the challenging aspect of this was that certain providers did not allow URLs to be verified unless manually inputted within the bucket of the provider.
