Not on task any longer; might want to point out it's on the ref.

I'd updated the example with a more thorough description of this change, moreover, I've noticed that the type of the Observable changed to getDownloadURL(): Observable<any>, instead of getDownloadURL(): Observable<string>, thus I've matched the new declaration at the docs. storage ref - line 7

this.uploadPercent = task.percentageChanges();
// get notified when the download URL is available
this.downloadURL = task.downloadURL();
this.downloadURL = fileRef.getDownloadURL();

You'll need to wait for task to finish, see Jeff's comment for a good solution #1649 (comment)

Even though I've added Jeff's example, on my tests I was only able to retrieve the url by actually subscribing to the Observable that receives the data from the getDownloadURL() function inside the finalize method.

There's an example

import { finalize } from 'rxjs/operators';

// ...

task
   .snapshotChanges()
     .pipe(
        finalize(() => {
           this.downloadURL = storageRef.getDownloadURL()
           this.downloadURL.subscribe(ref => {
           this.update(this.user, ref)
           })
        })
     )
.subscribe()
