The **Files** page of the Firebase console provides an overview of the files
contained in your Cloud Storage buckets. This can be helpful for visualizing the
structure of your bucket to verify that your application is working or if you
need a convenient way to store just a few files like static images or video
content for your application. From this page of the Firebase console, you can
view detailed file information, upload and download files, create folders, and
create new download URLs for files.
