All sorts of reasons this solution is not a good idea
Not only do these free file servers don't act like a network drive, but

of a backup copy of your local data.
Not a bad idea to back up your data to cloud drive, but not as a remote
access file system.
Even with Google drive where they claim you can have multi people
access the
same word/excel file.. and make updates.. my testing on that didn't
prove
stable .
If you need cloud based data - you might as well get a sql server
hosted in
the cloud. - Simple and robust.
Hi Bob!
You were my inspiration for moving over to MySQL, as you may recall. My
ISP hosts the MySQL databases and my VFP app connects as you
demonstrated way back at WhilFest in 2002 (?). Still works great today.
No web service hassles either.
