Set Google Cloud Images to Public from Private while using Multer

Question

I recently switched over from deprecated multer-gcs to multer-google-storage. I have it mostly running, but cannot figure out how to make the files public. Is there a variable that I can set in the .env file? Right now I get the following when I go to the image page:

<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access denied.</Message>
<Details>
Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to example-app.appspot.com/xxx-yyy-zzz
</Details>
</Error

My code looks like this, and is properly saving everything, except that images are private:

const multer = require('multer');
var multerGoogleStorage = require("multer-google-storage");

dotenv.load({ path: '.env' });

var uploadHandler = multer({
  storage: multerGoogleStorage.storageEngine()
});

app.post('/sell', uploadHandler.any(), homeController.postSellPage);

.env File

GCS_BUCKET=example-project.appspot.com
GCLOUD_PROJECT=example-project
GCS_KEYFILE=./example-project-firebase-adminsdk-xxx.json
