[Qgis-user] Flatgeobuf in google drive ?

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Thanks for all the answers.

I made a Google cloud bucket and uploaded my files to that. It is 
(surprisingly🙂) stable and fast ! The only downside is that it takes a 
long time the first time you open the layer, because QGIS will read the 
entire layer to ascertain the number of objects. When you have a layer 
with ca. 6.000.000 objects it takes a looong time. But opening the 
project after that is snappy.

Med venlig hilsen / Best regards
