I am learning web devlopment (ruby on rails / php) and my objective is to develop a website like coursera or edx. I have to store many files (pdf or jpeg) which will be post by users and my problem now is to know if i can store them in my google drive or yahoo cloud storage (mail with 1 To of space), and display the file on the website when a user want to read it. Anyone can help ??
