Cloud Files API with Indexable Meta Data

Question

I would like to use a cloud file system that supports adding meta-data that is searchable. I want to use this meta-data to store keys from my application to associate the document.

Eg

File:
/XYZ/image.png

Meta Data:
Person-Id:12345
Group-Id:23456
Other-Id:3456

I would then like to use a API to search (v.fast) documents by Person-Id or Group-Id. I understand that I could create this table mapping myself (in mysql within the app) but is there a cloud files solution (google drive, rackspace, amazon) that supports this use case already?

Thanks

You can make use of the Directory API of Google to insert data onto the Google Drive which is hosted on cloud.

Send a POST request like this:

POST https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups/groupKey/members

The require parameters include the groupKey which Identifies the group in the API request. The value can be the group's email address, group alias, or the unique group ID.

You can directly try this with this official documentation .

For inserting a single member visit this official documentation .
