Benefits of Using Cloud Storage For Firebase

Cloud Storage for Firebase can be used for storing & modifying users’ data. It also allows users to focus on the development of the basic features of their application without considering the issue of Infrastructure management. Overall, Cloud Storage provides a scalable, reliable, secure, and very cost-effective way of storing and managing the user’s data. Thus, Cloud Storage for Firebase provides the following benefits :

1. Scalability: Scalability means scaling the storage needs. Thus Cloud Storage provides users a way to scale their storage requirements as per users’ basic needs. Firebase Cloud Storage is implemented in such a way that it can handle large amounts of data i.e. bulk of data, thus ensuring users that their applications can be developed or grow without considering the fact of data shortage.
2. Reliability & Durability: One of the most important features of Cloud Storage for Firebase is the Availability of the data i.e. cloud storage provides Availability and durability of data so that users can get their desired data whenever they want. Also, the Cloud Storage of Firebase is implemented in such a way that it can automatically copy the data of users at various data centers and multiple servers so that the risk of data loss is reduced to a very great extent due to any hardware failure or any other external disaster.
3. Easy Integration: It is very easy to integrate Firebase Cloud Storage to other Firebase services like Firebase Authentication, Firestore, etc, thus allowing users that to develop a very strong application that has various capabilities like authentication, real-time update, etc.
4. Cost Effectiveness: Firebase Cloud Storage provides too much leniency to users in terms of cost. It provides various flexible pricing options like it allows users to pay for only the storage and bandwidth server they used. It also allows users to pay only for the specified time. Since All the data of the terms user’s application is virtually stored, thus it reduces the cost of Hardware requirements.
5. Easy to Use: Firebase Cloud Storage provides easy-to-use Software Development Kits for various Programming Languages thus making integration of cloud storage to other Firebase platform services easy.
6. Cross-Platform Compatibility: It allows multi platforms compatibility like web environment and mobile environment ( including both Android and iOS ) thus allowing users to work on their applications at different servers/platforms and with different operating systems.
7. Security: There are various built-in functions in cloud storage that provide protection to the user’s data. Cloud Storage allows users to select who can get access of their data and what kind of operations they can perform on their data. Users can also authenticate other users with the authentication feature of cloud storage.

Cloud Storage as the name suggests is one of the most important storage tools offered by Firebase which is available for both mobile and web app development and is powered by Google. It provides various facilities to users like storing, retrieving, and managing data such as documents, images, videos, audio, etc in a more secure manner to the virtual place named as a cloud. Cloud Storage services can also integrate various services offered by Firebase like Firebase Authentication, real-time database, etc . in order to enhance user experience with real-time updates.
