title: Streaming large files (2GB+) to Google Cloud Storage bucket by way of Node/Express server
body: <p>I'm looking for the best way (or a way) to upload large files (1GB+) from the client side of my app to my Google Cloud Storage bucket.</p>
  
  <p>The bucket is private and I'm currently trying to send the file to my node/express server and stream it to my GCS bucket. I think I'm running into issues due to file size constraints on the server though. Works fine for smaller files, but the 1GB file I'm using to test it isn't getting through.</p>
  
  <p>These are the alternate methods I'm exploring:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>file splitting client side and then reassembling server-side prior to sending to GCS</li>
  <li>create a temporary service account through the Google IAM API (GCS write access), send this to the client to be able to upload the file, delete account after upload confirmed (not ideal since it exposes the service account)</li>
  <li>???</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Just looking to get pointed in the right direction at this point.</p>
