Can I use a database stored in the cloud storage?

Question

Data storage

Good day!
The question arose, is it possible to somehow use, through the application, a database that will be located in the cloud storage, such as Google Drive, instead of dedicated hosting?
The application is planned to be written either in C# or Java.
Previously, I didn’t particularly encounter work in the database in these languages, so I’m interested in answers for the very, very noobs.
Also interested in what is better to choose a database for working with more than 1000-10000 records and constant user access to it?

Answer 1

Not every cloud storage = google drive.
Do not confuse warm with soft.
Google drive won't work for you because it won't be a cloud database (you're talking about SQL, right?)
You're just syncing local documents with cloud storage, as a result, if you give users access to the database in google drive, they will just get a bunch of binary files . And at the same time, they will need to install some kind of sql on their local computer to read this database?
If someone other than you works with this database, a serious problem will arise due to the synchronization of binary data. Although, if users will only read, then this is possible, but how will they get access to your database?
Please specify which base you mean. usage model. Why don't you like regular hosting?

Answer 2

1000-10000 - any
* worth considering, starting from 500,000 and more approximately

Answer 3

PostgreSQL is the most suitable option. (if sql-base)

Yes. Mounting Google Drive and configuring the DBMS.
But if Google Drive falls off at one fine moment, then ... I hope the consequences are clear.

Answer 5

If we are talking about mounting webdav directly and working with it in this form, then I highly do not recommend it even if it works out, if you need database accessibility, it is enough to create an account on any database hosting and use it.
