How to cache google cloud storage (GCS) with cloudflare?

How can I cache assets stored on google cloud storage (GCS)? I've been trying to make it work in the past 2 days with no luck. My website have backend & frontend, and the asset is stored on GCS. I tried the following guide:

a. https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168926-How-do-I-use-Cloudflare-with-Amazon-s-S3-Service-

b. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website

c. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/static-website#tip-dynamic

Let say my website is example.com, here's what I did:

  1. I created a bucket on GCS "img.example.com"

  2. On Cloudflare I set CNAME with the following: Name: img.example.com Value: c.storage.googleapis.com

  3. I set all object in GCS bucket 'readable by public' (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/making-data-public#buckets)

The image is still not cached by Cloudflare and the header status still not showing CF-Status. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Can you tell us the real value of img.example.com? The problem is not readily apparent from the description, which sounds like it should work. – Michael - sqlbot

I changed the link from https://storage.googlesapis.com/subdomain.mysite.com/... to https://subdomain.mysite.com/... (simply removing "storage.googleapis.com") and it works! Hope it helps other that stuck as well.
