Firebase Firestore and Google Cloud Firestore are the same thing. Firebase just provided client SDK and has security rules while Google Cloud mostly has server side SDKs. You can view the both Firebase console and Google Cloud console .

Answer 3

To move Cloud Firestore data from one project to another project you have to follow the following 4 steps -

1. Create a Cloud Storage bucket to hold the data from your source project

2. Export the data from your source project to the bucket.

3. Give your destination project permission to read from the bucket.

4. Import the data from the bucket into your destination project.

The data in the destination project remains as it is in the source project and specifically to answer your question, the document ID does not change after transfer.
