IBM Bluemix Mobile Data Services, Loading data into the cloud

Question

I want to create an android application, I want my application data to be persistent. There is a file that I want to save every time to the Bluemix server. I want to confirm the following, for a situation in which a user "A" from my application saves the data to the IBM Bluemix Server, and if there are more than 2000 users saving the same user-related file in the server:

• Will there be any differences between all the different user files?
• Will there be any collisions?
• Will I be able to differentiate the files of other users?
• Will I be able to save and retrieve the saved file of only that particular user?

Thank you.

Using the Mobile Client Access (MCA) service you will be able to do exactly what you ask.

MCA can provide you with a unique identifier for each authenticated Facebook, Google+, or custom style user, enabling you to manage your data appropriately. I recommend the Cloudant NoSQL DB service for fast and easy database management.

See the MCA docs and Android sample for further information.
