how to upload photos to Google firestore

Hello.

Could you please give me an example how to upload photos to Google firestore. Please!

Thanks

 

Cloud firestore is really optimized for textual data. For example there is a 1MB limit per document in Firestore. So I would suggest instead uploading the image to Google Cloud Storage and just saving a link to the image in the Firestore document.

Anyway if you really insist on it, Firestore supports a raw Bytes datatype: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/data-types. So you can just get the raw byte data for your image and store it in a Bytes field.

Google has examples for adding data on their site: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/add-data#c

 

Hello,

I have tried a lot to use the Firebase SDK, but have always had problems with Andoid APK that refuse to install or crash on startup.

That's when I decided to switch to REST API which works wonderfully with Firebase to record player’s data. But I have a hard time running it with Firebase Storage to save photos, hence my request to get an example, using REST API or any other Unity’s function.

thanks a lot for your help

Best regards

 

how is this related to Unity???

 

Because you can use firebase in unity.

 

did you find a way?
