Firebase also supports built-in capabilities for app developers who wish to store and serve contents such as photos, videos, or any other user-generated content. The Firebase is backed by Google Cloud Storage. Uploads and downloads take place regardless of network quality. Uploads and downloads are robust which means that it resumes from where they stopped, ensuring saving of time and bandwidth of the user. Currently, the storage enables storing of static files only. This storage operates on a pay-as-you-go model, which means that there is no need to migrate from Firebase Storage to cloud storage or any other provider; Firebase Storage scales automatically.
