Update (late 2023) : You can now have multiple Firestore databases per project. See the blog post Manage multiple Firestore databases in a project [LINK] , my announcement video [this video] , and the documentation on managing databases [LINK] . Previous answer There is only a single Firestore database instance per Firebase project. There is (currently) no way to add additional Firestore database instances to a project. So that means you'd have to have a separate project for each user. That part is technically feasible for databases, as you can dynamically create a FirebaseApp instance [LINK] with the configuration data [LINK] for the signed in user. The problem is that you need to first sign in
