title: Is Firebase storage URL static?
body: <p>I have a list of contacts and each of those has a profile photo which is stored in Firebase storage. An official way of getting the images would be to fetch the URL using the Firebase storage SDK and set it as src in img element.</p>
  
  <pre><code>            firebaseApp.storage().ref("profilePhotos/" + officeId + ".jpg").getDownloadURL().then(function (url) {
                  this.photoUrl = url;
              }.bind(this)).catch(function (error) {
                  console.log("Photo error"); // TODO: handler
              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is quite cumbersome when I have to load multiple files (as in contact list). Is the file URL received above static? Can I store it in the database in the profile information and use it directly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
