Retrieve multiple photos under a node from Firebase Storage

Question

Answer 1

Currently there's no bulk or batched upload/download to/from Firebase Storage--I think there are too many question here: would we zip the files up and store them that way, would we returned a zipped bundle, etc. Would we just return an array of download URLs, or appropriate data?

Our solution to the problem of listing and downloading multiple files is to upload them individually and store the URLs in another database (say the Firebase Realtime Database), which you can then sync and use to download each file individually (or you store the download files and use a tool like SDWebImage to download or cache the appropriate URLs).

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAsvwy1-oxE&feature=youtu.be for an example of how we did this.
