storage_api The file could not be uploaded
Found the issue.  Turns out the Directory Path in the local container, which is the initial container, for the storage class the content type is using NEEDS to have a trailing slash. As in:

sites/default/files/storage/

instead of:

sites/default/files/storage

it's that picky.  and the log does not say its the issue.  it just says it had trouble accessing the field.  I found it by trial and error.

I hope this helps someone.
