Hello again
Im workng on a chat app
I don't want to send message i want to upload and download files.
how can i ?

15

how do you do that? with clouddb? firebase?

to send a file, you can convert the file to base64, and send the base64 string.
or upload the file to a cloud server, and send only send the file path.

16

im using cloud DB

17

You can upload a binary image file to cloudDB, but you must use a full path and a separate tag for each file.

Hi
how to send images,videos and voices for chatting app?

19

cloudDB can save image/video/audio.
First cloudDB.StoreValue(imageName, imagePath), then in DataChanged event, send the imageName to other person. The other person can use GetValue to retrieve this image.

Yes, you could do all of that with your online database.
