Is there a cloud-based solution to MS Access?

Question

I'm wondering if there is a cloud-based solution or alternative to MS Access. We're working remotely with Office 365 without issue but we'd like to have some of the functionality of MS Access remotely as well - from storing various client and project data to unique project number creation, based on certain criteria (jurisdiction, project type, etc).
Maybe it's as simple as storing the DB in the cloud (if that's possible), but perhaps there's another solution someone else has come up with.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you only need the data (=backend) online (not the frontend), then you can do just that, i.e. export only your data to an online data server/storage like Azure SQL or Sharepoint, from where you can then link the tables back into your Access frontend(s). Check what is the best way for your application, requirements, amount of data, budget, knowledge, etc. There is a lot of information on the web, or get an expert to look at your application to find the best solution.
