Hi Everyone,

Please help me to know if there is a possibility that if the data in the firebase is changed then only the data from the firebase gets copied into stored variable…

do i need to create cloud variable for that…  
i will be more interested in stored variable.

please share the screenshot of the block thanks

Hey @videshi.in.germanydr

With a cloud variable the information will be up-to-date for all users, and with a stored variable the info will only be on one device.

The “right” choice depends on your use case. Can you tell us a little more about what you’re trying to build?

Thanks.
