How could I make cloud storage work?

[Jschrauwen2 (Zenith)]

Hi everyone, I have resently started on a little project and I was trying to implement an cloud storage system that is accesable for multible games. So every game that is connected to the cloud server can post and delete data from this server.

The problem is that I dont really know how to start on this so if there is someone who does know how this works pls help me

I believe Data Stores are what you’re looking for.

Are datastores able to be used acros multinle differnent games? (It is not like you can teleport to these places, there are fully independent games)

try using apis ( i think that is what it is called in this situation) that allows you to send data from the game to a website (like how pet simulator had been doing with sending some stuff to discord before roblox banned discord api )

Unfortunately, no. A game’s data stores can only be accessed within its places.

How can I share a datastore between 2 different games?

The short answer is, you can’t. There is no way to share a datastore between two separate games. The only way you can effectively transfer data between two games is by using some sort of external tool or service to store or transfer that data, or, hosting your own. However, you can avoid the need to transfer data like this by simply using the same universe for both environments. Personally, the way I would set up a test place/game is by having the “test game” teleport to a “test place” in the…

Maybe Firebase’s firestores is the solution you’re looking for.
It’s not that hard to use, and there are modules that help you get/set data from Firebase within your servers.

Though using some modules might be a little tricky & way more difficult than DataStores…
