    Is it possible to use a "cloud" database that doesn't need installing with plugins? For example, could someone who uses the plugin set up a Google Cloud or something? Or even a storage on a site I could set up. But my goal is for a database to be used that does not need anything installed, so No MySQL! Is this possible?

    The reason not to do this is because of inefficiency, it's really bad not to have a local database since it adds network latency to normal query time. Also I don't think you understand what Google Cloud is.
     
  3. If you want to sync your databases accross multiple computers you can use some online sync programs (I ditched them after a while because they weren't as reliable and file selective as I wanted them) or some offline sync programs (like freefilesync, I use this on a USB drive to sync between computers).

    I'm just guessing here, you should really tell what do you need "clouds" for :p

    I want to easily sync it between several computers
