XML is not a database. It's just a markup language to format data for storage and interchange between applications.

You can store your data in Google Drive, but you cannot access it using database providers, like ADO.NET, SQL Server, MySql, ... You're clients would have to download the file, and use it locally. This will also prevent you from sharing data between users! If you try to put a modified file back on Google Drive, you will overwrite any existing data there!

If you really need to share data between users, you would have to go with a cloud-based database and API solution.

Solution 1

You can use any format that you wish, although you have not explained what data you wish to save. The only issue is whether you have access to the files from your mobile device.
