Server edition on Google Drive?

Post by moritz »

Our company has three locations throughout the country. In order to avoid slow VPS access to a local server, we would like to use google drive.

1. Is it possible to store the images on google drive? Does this impact speed?
2. Can we host the database file on google drive?

1. Probably not, as it would require http access to the photo files. If it was possible, it would be orders of magnitude slower than the slowest disk you can find.
2. No, Google Drive won't let you run SQL, which is required for the database access.
