I'm developing a social network (website) with options to upload albums with high-res photos and videos. the users will be professional photographers who will upload albums between 120-150 high res photos and videos.
what are the best options for me to use in order to store those files?
I'm using firebase as my database and static content storage, so I thought it would be great to use firebase storage. but there are limitations of 1000GB of storage and I'm not sure this will be enough.
"but there are limitations of 1000GB of storage and I'm not sure this will be enough." Where are you seeing this limit?
Cloud Storage for Firebase shares it's infrastructure with Google Cloud Storage (they're the same product with different SDK surfaces), which is used by the worlds largest tech companies for file storage. Each object can be up to 5TB in size, which is 5x the "limit" mentioned above.

I am developing a medical software for a doctor whose primary concern is his data privacy.
He wants that the developers for the software and the vendor managing the deployment of the software on the cloud should not be able to view his data in the database in any instance.
I am planning to develop his software and deploying it on the google-cloud-platform.
Which methods can I follow while developing the backend app to ensure this?
I understand - your question is very general.
In that case it may be useful to check the PDF file - Google Cloud security foundations guide

Is it possible to setup and use Metabase (https://metabase.com/) to directly (or indirectly, maybe via Google BigQuery) connect to Firebase realtime Database to fetch data to analyze? Any advice or tutorial links (if available) will be highly appreciated!
Firebase support is still an open issue on Metabase: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/4213
Noteworthy comment/opinion from contributor/CEO of Metabase:
For what it's worth, for firebase specifically, we'd strongly suggest getting your database and/or analytics events into BigQuery somehow vs coding against the database rest api directly.
I'm leaving this issue open in case to not squash anyone's motivation, but even if it does get addressed in a PR, I'd still recommend using BQ =)

I am thinking about building a marketplace platform with web and mobile clients. In plain english, think about it as a bad copy of ebay for a specific niche.
In order to simplify the backend side, I am considering using Firebase. But I am worried about the database.
Most of the documentation that I read about Realtime Database or Cloud Firestore is about small amount of data. With examples as a single user saving their data on the cloud, or a shared list of items shared among a few list of users (as a shopping list app...)
But in my case, this would be the main database of the platform, with all items that all the users are selling. Do you think that Firebase could deal with this scenario? a single and huge list of items to be shared among all the users of the platform?
Do you recommend any other alternative?
Yes Firebase can handle big amount of data, but you need to learn how to do the data structure so when extracting data from the database you won't have to pass through all the nodes or it will take time to extract data.
Also Firebase is not only realtime-database, it also offers sending notifications, and storing files/images and authentication, etc.. All of this will help you in creating the application and making it easier for you.
Also check this link for the limitations in the database:

Which cloud platform should i use to store audio files for on demand download in a mobile app?
Eg: From the app if the user click a download button, audio files will be downloaded and stored ?
What about Google Drive ,firebase Storage or Dropbox,... ?
Audio files are just plain binary files so you can just store them on a simple S3 bucket for example.
Amazon S3 has some benefits:
easily scalable
you pay for what you use
high availability
trusted by many
But, ultimately, any cloud storage will do.

I'm currently developing an application in which I need to use offline maps to put some markers, info, and geolocalization on it. It will be a web-based application, but I've seen that Google Maps API doesn't allow us to use maps offline because that will violate their TOS.
As a complement, my development team is willing to pay in order to get the maps we need, since we expect to have some support and reliability from the maps.
Therefore we were wondering which Map service could we use to develop the application with offline maps, where I can move, zoom and interact with it.
If you are targeting Windows 10, there Bing Maps is built into the Windows 10 SDK and supports offline maps, geocoding and routing. You can find some documentation on this API here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn642089.aspx
Bing Maps does provide generous free limits for Windows based apps. If your app is public facing, you have a limit of 50,000 transactions a day. If your app is internal business facing, the limit is 125,000 transactions a year. Generally you will generate one transaction each time the map control is loaded.
