    I would like my mobile game to be able to connect to a server and download or upload some files. I want something very simple: just automatic download of some files and automatic upload. Those files will be very small text/XML/zip files. I thought about using my Google Drive account for this. There is a Google Drive API for Unity, AFAIK. What would be the simplest and cheapest solution? I don't want to spend months coding this and I also don't want to spend much money on my file server.

    Firebase is really easy to implement. I used it recently to download game backgrounds. Easy API.

    What about an Amazon S3 bucket? Unless you need to protect files for each account, it should be an easy peasy solution
