Saving Data on Android

Key points
•
Cloud Storage
 is a Firebase product used for saving files associated with your app.
• If you lose a network connection in the middle of the upload or a download, the 
transfer will continue where it left off after you reconnect to the network.
• Cloud Storage also has 
security features
 that will make your files secure.
• The foundations of the Cloud Storage are 
folders
 that you can create to organize 
your data.
Where to go from here?
This chapter was just an introduction to Cloud Storage to show you how to store 
media files to the cloud. You learned how to set up Cloud Storage and how to upload 
and download files from it. Cloud Storage has many other features. To learn more
