Writing a code is the only option to copy Firestore collections to Cloud Storage or is there some kind of a magic feature I can use?

I know this new feature announcement of importing Firestore collection into BigQuery in the Firestore talk during the Next conference. Is there something similar for Cloud Storage?

https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-data/export-import. Not so sure whether this is a new feature but I am going to try this out.

Yes, finally, Firebase enabled this feature.

  1. Create Cloud Storage Bucket
  2. install gcloud if not already: in terminal run curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
    • after prompt Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable bash completion? (Y/n) type y + enter
  3. next, run source .bash_profile
  4. afterwards, run: gcloud beta firestore export gs://[BUCKET-NAME].
  1. and in case, you want to save the folder locally, simply run gsutil cp -r gs://[BUCKET-NAME] /path/to/folder
