( KOTLIN ) It was not mentioned anywhere in the Docs but to have to load images directly from Cloud Storage to your App using Glide you have to include three lines in app build.gradle (in addition to other Firebase dependencies):

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.11.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.11.0'
implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:6.2.0'

Though you are adviced to use kotlin - kapt instead of annotationProcessor for Kotlin.

Then some where in your Project add this class for Firebase Loader. Note that the annotation is very important for the class:

package com.your.package.name

import android.content.Context
import com.bumptech.glide.Glide
import com.bumptech.glide.Registry
import com.bumptech.glide.annotation.GlideModule
import com.bumptech.glide.module.AppGlideModule
import com.firebase.ui.storage.images.FirebaseImageLoader
import com.google.firebase.storage.StorageReference
import java.io.InputStream


@GlideModule
class MyAppGlideModule : AppGlideModule() {
    override fun registerComponents(context: Context, glide: Glide, registry: Registry) {
        registry.append(
            StorageReference::class.java, InputStream::class.java,
            FirebaseImageLoader.Factory()
        )
    }
}

Then you can use it as:

Glide.with(this /* context */)
    .load(storageReference)
    .into(imageView)

Any errors? Update the dependencies above also Invalidate Cache and Restart your Android Studio.
