Firebase & Swift: How to use another database for storing larger files? : <p>I am currently trying to build a chat application in swift whilst using Firebase for real-time messaging. My only issue is I want users to send images, I want them to have profiles with images but I know Firebase has limited storage (or at least storage per pay tier is low for the number of connections you get)</p>

<p>So I would like to know how to connect up another database and make calls when needed between the two. So when and image is sent in a message, rather than Firebase storing the image, it stores a URL to the image in the other database.</p>

<p>I am under the impression something like AWS S3 is my best bet. any help is appreciated!</p>
