Full Definition

Object storage (AWS S3, Firebase Storage, Cloudflare R2) stores binary files (images, PDFs, videos) as objects accessible by URL. Unlike a database, you don't query object storage — you put/get/delete by key. Images uploaded by users are stored in object storage, not in the database (databases store the URL reference, not the file).
تخزين الكائنات يخزن الملفات الثنائية كوحدات يمكن الوصول إليها بواسطة URL. قواعد البيانات تخزن مرجع URL، وليس الملف نفسه.

Example Usage

“404Fault project cover images are stored in Firebase Storage. Firestore stores only the download URL string (imageUrl: 'https://...').”

“صور غلاف مشاريع 404Fault مخزنة في Firebase Storage. يخزن Firestore فقط سلسلة رابط التنزيل.”
