Personally, I would recommend that you use an online system designed to do what you want to do like Firebase to handle your chat (realtime database or firestore) and storage/delivery (firebase storage) of media files. Firebase can also provide user authentication and rules to handle privacy and security of data and media. In my opinon, cloudDB is not the best solution for what you want to achieve. "
Well , my brother Gino is not more one programmer of App Inventor , so I logged in in his account and I will continue his chat app project , but this time ... thinking different !
My name is Gebo , and I am the bigger brother of Gino , that small kid of 12 years .
But I know that testing is important , so ... why do not test with Firebase ? Is not a bad idea ! But , going to the point ...
I created this topic to ask help of how to use firebase ! If anyone can help me , I'll be very glad to him . Thank you all , programmers !

Same could be said for just about anything, but I have provided alternatives that do not use the "experimental" firebase component. It has been "experimental" for @ 8 years...
A firebase project offers 10gb of free space in firebase storage you can store whatever files you like there. Just bear in mind the time it takes to upload/download large files. Firebase Storage is not like youtube where videos are optimised for streaming.
Oh , no ... let me understand ... this community is not cool ... I Gebo log out now forever ! Bye ! You losted the most cool person in the world , gentelmans[ Sarcastic like a nose ] !
