title: Can I run Firebase Storage cloud functions locally?
body: <p>From <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/local-emulator" rel="noreferrer">Firebase DOCS</a>:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Run functions locally</strong></p>
  <p>The Firebase CLI includes a Cloud Functions emulator which can emulate the following function types:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>HTTPS functions</li>
  <li>Callable functions</li>
  <li>Cloud Firestore functions</li>
  </ul>
  <p>You can run functions locally to test them before deploying to production.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p><strong>QUESTION</strong></p>
  <p>Is there a way to run cloud functions for Firebase Storage (ex: triggered by file upload) locally or do I need to actually deploy them for testing?</p>
