You could set up a user auth claim like "can_upload_pics" then check this claim whenever the user initiates an upload, you might want to use firebase functions to add custom claims. If done right the second option will work as expected checkout this video for a good explanation and example for custom claims [this video]

Yes, however there was a comment from @thatjennperson on her video on writing firestore rules [this video] in which she explains that you never want to rely on client filters for security purposes. She explained that the custom claims can be used to match only those documents in firebase to which the user has been granted access.
