Ionic2 Error: "No provider for Storage"

After reading everything I could find, and failing, I must ask here:

I am trying to use ionic2's Storage, just like the doc tells me to,

doc: https://ionicframework.com/docs/storage/

here is my Code:

app-module.ts

    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { ErrorHandler, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { IonicApp, IonicErrorHandler, IonicModule } from 'ionic-angular';
    import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';
    import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';

    import { MyApp } from './app.component';
    import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';
    import { Intro } from '../pages/intro/intro';
    import { Checklist } from '../pages/checklist/checklist';
    // import { Http } from '@angular/http';
    import {IonicStorageModule} from '@ionic/Storage';
    import { Data } from '../providers/data';
    import {HttpModule} from '@angular/http';
    // import {Storage} from '@ionic/storage';


    @NgModule({
      declarations: [
        MyApp,
        HomePage,

      imports: [
        HttpModule,
        BrowserModule,
        IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp),

      ],
      bootstrap: [IonicApp],
      entryComponents: [
        MyApp,
        HomePage,
        Intro,
        Checklist
      ],
      providers: [
        StatusBar,
        SplashScreen,
        {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
        // Storage,
        //Http,
        Data
      ],
    })
    export class AppModule {}

The method that is supposed to get called and use the Storage is HomePage's save().

I can't get that far, however, because before the page even loads, I get

Since I did everything the doc said, please enlighten me - What is still missing that would cause the Storage not to be found

Thanks

Firstly you need to install: npm install --save @ionic/storage

The problem was in app.ts:

import {IonicStorageModule} from '@ionic/Storage';

Capital 'S' instead of non capital 's':

from '@ionic/Storage'

instead of:

from '@ionic/storage'

No idea why the compiler wouldn't catch that if it's a problem, but it didn't.
