title: How can I upload a video to Firebase using angularfire2?
body: <p>I am building a web app using Angular2 and Firebase, and am using angularfire2 for authentication and database interactions. It seems like angularfire2 <a href="https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/issues/213" rel="nofollow">does not have support for the Firebase storage API yet</a>. 
  What is the alternative until then? 
  Can I access the Firebase object and follow the <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/upload-files" rel="nofollow">instructions</a> in the Firebase documentation?</p>
