For my android app, I would like to store some app user files in a cloud. The user shall be able to upload any content created before to a cloud, by easy logging in with any valid account facebook, twitter, openID account, etc.

I realized that already with a OpenId Connect example. What cloud possibilites do I have? I think Google offers something appropiate?

    how you validate a user is unrelated to where you store the files. – Zig Mandel Nov 16 '15 at 16:09
  • The title makes it sound like you want to store user settings/metadata but the body of your question makes it sound like you want to store actual user files. Is it both? – James Nov 17 '15 at 00:30
  • Yes both. When user has new smartphone, he shall not configure much. user shall just login and be able to access its app settings/metadata and its precaptured user data. – Ralf Wickum Nov 17 '15 at 08:47

Answering from the Google App Engine prospective only, assuming you're willing to write a GAE app. Other options are likely available as well, but I opted for GAE.

A variety of storage options are available to store your user data, some may be more appropriate than others depending on the type of data and your preferences. Comparison between storage options available here.

A variety of user authentication methods are available, some may be more appropriate than others depending on you app requirements and your preferences, see: What is the difference between Google identity toolkit, Google OAauth and Google+ sign in
