Firebase Storage - Project migration options?

[Taylor Keenan]

I am trying to implement dev & prod instances of Firebase.  Is there any way to migrate Firebase Storage from one project to another? (i.e. The realtime database has export/import options)  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Since all your files are stored in a Google Cloud Storage bucket, all you need to do is migrate those files from one bucket to the other. GCS has provided a few ways of doing this:

• gsutil command line tool, the cp or mv commands
• gsutil mv-m -r gs://old_bucket/* gs://new_bucket
  
• GCS Transfer Service, which will automatically perform this migration from one GCS bucket to another. You can even schedule periodic transfers if users are still using the old bucket.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks Mike! I actually didn't think to look into the GCS documentation - seems kind of obvious now. :)

We're working on publishing a "Integrating Firebase Storage with Google Cloud Platform" section of the docs, which will detail our relationship, since we know it's not an obvious first look :)

Thanks,
