Android FirebaseStorage can't find file

Question

This is the function that I have:

 public static void sendLogFileToFirebase(Context context, File file, final CrudStateCallback back){
    UserRecord user = UserRecord.getMyUser(context);
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
    StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();
    String folder = "users/";
    final StorageReference logsRef = storageRef.child(folder + user.getId() + "/logs/" + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "_" + (calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "_" + calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/"
            + calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR) + calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND) + ".zip");
    String[] files = new String[1];
    files[0] = file.getAbsolutePath();
    Compress compress = new Compress(files, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Passenger/log.zip");
    final File fileLog = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Passenger/log.zip");
    compress.zip(new CrudStateCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(String string) {
            Log.i("","path will be:" + logsRef.getPath());
            logsRef.putFile(Uri.parse(fileLog.getAbsolutePath()));
            if(back != null)
                back.onResponse("");
        }
    });
}

And when it enters the callback from the compress method, It gets an exception at this line:

logsRef.putFile(Uri.parse(fileLog.getAbsolutePath()));

Error:

Why does this happen? I checked and the file exists in my folder. I tried also doing directly logsRef.putFile(Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Passenger/log.zip")); But same thing happens. Any ideeas?

Answer 1

This worked:

 InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(fileLog);
 UploadTask uploadTask = logsRef.putStream(stream);

Instead of trying to upload directly the file
