I just had this idea (crazy? mmmm......)
Just upload a VFP table to one of the free cloud stores

And then use it, like one would use any ordinary table:
A good idea but, yeah, crazy. I don't really know all the details
involved, but smarter people than me explain that the sharing and
locking
mechanisms used with DBFs really depend on DOS/network/smb/CIFS
protocols
that understand the commands to lock or share the table and/or
lock/share
specific rows or areas of the table. Ditto for indexes. Without these
APIs
supported specifically, you're going to run into trouble.
Another reason to stop using DBFs and start using something like MySQL.
