Public link disappeared for assets in bucket

[Alessandro Mattioli]

Since a few days ago I was able to get a public link to a file to make it publicly readable in my bucket on Google Storage just by clicking on a checkbox in it's row.

The label of that Checkbox was saying "Public Link".

You can see a screenshot describing what I'm describing:

But, since few days ago, this checkbox has disappeared and to enable a public link for my file I have to go through a window and add permissions for a fake user called allUsers as said in this page

Is there a way to reenable the checkbox?

Is something changed on google storage or have I misconfigured something?

This is the intended way for making data in Cloud Storage public through the Cloud Console. The documentation that you linked shows that [1]. And the Cloud IAM documentation elaborates on the 'allUsers' permission identifier for making data publicly accessible [2].
