Firebase search storage

[john barrowman]

From looking around it appears that you can't get a list of files by name from firebase storage so is there anyway around this?
Would it be possible to use the firebase database to store the file name and download url and get a list of files by query and should the user choose a file the download link is taken from the database

something like:
search query
select file
download link query
download file
