You appear to have missed or fogotten the details of
the question. i.e. a single long "shot" which may result
in a sequence of 2GB files internal to the Firestore, are
seen/downloaded/transfered as a single file upon retrieval.

Not sure what the discussion is about, anyway. The Firestore
works the way it works regardless of what anyone here says
or thinks.
