You need to get a child reference, since you cannot directly save files into your firebase: https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/ios/upload-files#create_a_reference

Have a reference in your storage by your user's id, I will update the answer assuming you have id property of users somewhere, you need to distinguish child references somehow

Try the updated code below:

func userUpdatingInfo () {
    let currentID = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid
    let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference().child(currentID!)
    let uploadData = self.userProfileImage.image?.pngData()
    storageRef.putData(uploadData!, metadata: nil) { (meta, error) in
            if (error != nil) {
                print(error ?? "Error in uploading Image")
                return
            } else {
                print(meta!)
                return
            }
        }

}
