Can I use Google Drive as a user database?
I need a personal online database repository for each user of my application.
For example, user 1 needs to save entries in a database table with a list of his online meetings.
User 2 must also store entries in a similar table. No user can see each other's posts.
Google Drive gives developers access to the application folder:
https://developers.google.com/drive/android/appfolder
The documentation states that the Folder application can be used to store configuration files, temporary files, or any other types of files owned by the user, but should not be tampered with.
I am pleased to create a file database that either has one file to represent the entire database table (in this case, all collections), or one file in the row of the database table (one collection).
Can I save this in the Google Drive app folder?
I understand that there is a quota in the Drive API application, but it seems very high and prohibitive. To store the files that I need, the users themselves must have enough online storage on Google Drive. I also look at Firebase, but Google Drive will be a much cheaper solution and well understood by potential users.
