== Summary ==
Firebase Cloud Storage allows files of any type to be stored in the cloud. Files are stored in cloud buckets and uploaded and downloaded using the FirebaseStorage instance. This instance is used to obtain a StorageReference object which is used to define the location of a file within cloud storage. In addition to the file, metadata is also included with the stored file providing information about the file such as file type, size and creation time. Custom metadata may also be included for storing app specific data relating to the file. In addition to working with stored files from within app code the Firebase console also provides an interface for navigating and managing the storage filesystem for a project.
