Sorry to ask some very naive question. I am new to Firestore (and GCP actually). I need to copy some collections from Firestore to Cloud Storage or Big Query. I am guessing I can modify this for that purpose but have no idea what to do with this:

1> Where is this script copying data to?
2> The answer for 1> depends on where I run this script?

Again sorry to ask very basic questions. Thanks!
