I'm in the process of creating an android application using app inventor. The problem I face is that I do not wish to use the MySQL/php path and want this to be a multi-user cloud based application. Would I be able to achieve this using Google Drive or other similar facilities?

Answer 1

For App Inventor you might have some limitations and probably therefore not all services @fel mentioned are doable...

But you could store the images in Google Drive for all the users, see the App Inventor - Google Drive interface.

And to store the albums and links to the images, you could use a Google Fusiontable, see the FusionTablesControl component and the Pizza Party tutorial.

Answer 2

You should try Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox or a similar service. An example application with Amazon S3, Java and Tomcat 7 could be found here. On Google Drive or Dropbox, you will need to manage a token that I don't like since you need to enable it every time you re-deploy your application.
