What Filenet P8 API will work with FileNet Cloud - filenet-p8

I currently have an application that uses the P8 FileNet .NET api to store files in our company's on-prem FileNet server.
The reference we add to our c# project is Filenet.Api.dll V. 5.111.0.470 . I believe it talks to the content engine.
I'm being told that the company wants to move to Filenet's cloud offering but that this API isn't compatible with it.
I'm having a hard time determining what API would be compatible with it. Or even if it's true that the .net API is not compatible.
Does anyone have any insight?

Windows API behind "virtual files" in OneDrive

OneDrive folder can show files as-if present, but they are not on disk.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/save-disk-space-with-onedrive-files-on-demand-for-windows-10-0e6860d3-d9f3-4971-b321-7092438fb38e
I'd like to create a similar folder programmatically.
What API does OneDrive client use?
From official documentation: Build a Cloud Sync Engine that Supports Placeholder Files
Windows 10 version 1709 introduced the cloud files API. This API is a
new platform that formalizes support for sync engines. The cloud files
API provides support for sync engines in a way that offers many new
benefits to developers and end users.
The cloud files API contains the following native Win32 APIs and
Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs:
Cloud Filter API: This native Win32 API provides functionality at the
boundary between the user mode and the file system. This API handles
the creation and management of placeholder files and directories.
Windows.Storage.Provider namespace: This WinRT API enables
applications to configure the cloud storage provider and register the
sync root with the operating system. Note
The cloud files API does not currently support implementing cloud sync
engines in UWP apps. Cloud sync engines must be implemented in desktop
apps.
Note that the Cloud Filter API provides you the API to manipulate Windows 10 1709's NTFS placeholders, but it will not help you build a "sync engine" at all... There's no notion of "synchronization" in this API.

Parse.com and ASP.Net Cloud code

I am new to Parse.com and used it's iOS SDK successfully to interact with Database at Parse.com as backend.
Now I am looking at creating a simple web service using ASP.Net and C# and want to deploy it to Parse.com Cloud. I googled extensively and not able to find any pointers on this. All the Parse Cloud Code documentation refers to writing Cloud Code using JavaScript.
Do Parse.com cloud supports ASP.Net and C#?
Parse cloud code runs on top of the Node.js Express framework with support for a limited set of npm modules.
You could deploy your ASP.NET web site to a service like Azure websites or another webhost and look at Parse's new webhook tool that lets Parse communicate with your web application.

Integrating with Dynamics CRM - REST vs. XML vs. SDK

I put together some code for accessing CRM using the DLL's provided in the SDK download and tried out both the early binding approach and late binding approach.
What I'd like to do is in addition to having some custom entities that my users will access in Dynamics (through the Dynamics UI in the cloud), I also want to build some Android apps that talk to Dynamics.
My understanding is that I can talk to Dynamics from Android via REST (assuming I properly handle the authentication and getting tokens using ADAL libraries since my Dynamics instances run on the Microsoft cloud) or I can use the SDK with .NET as a middle-tier.
What's the recommended approach? Is there a best practice? When would I use the DLL's provided in the SDK and maybe wrap them in my own Web API vs. connecting to Dynamics directly via REST?
Please help this noob.
Kind of hard to say, depends on your talents and needs. Here is a great website link to get started though:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crminthefield/archive/2015/01/12/build-your-own-crm-mobile-app-s.aspx
Just a note on the Rest calls, you can only perform CRUD operations by default, and will need to jump through some hoops to perform the other calls.

What all services can be configured via Azure SDK for ruby

I was looking at Azure SDK for ruby and after comparing the API available there with the list of Azure's services, I noticed that the SDK does not have API for achieving many of the tasks related to various services. Are the API mentioned on SDK's github homepage the only API available ?
Eg: It has API to create a virtual machine, but no API to add DNS server.
The SDK has API to create Virtual network which can take params or XML file.
I also want to know whether we can configure other services using XML files and if yes, where can I find the XML data structure to configure those services.
The azure documentation is huge and I am unable to find proper reference for the XML data structure and list of services which can be configured using Ruby SDK.
FYI : I am on Ubuntu machine and cannot use Azure's other tools which are specific to only Windows.
I wrote an Azure API client (that despite my best efforts, has remained closed source) in ruby that my company uses, and I can relate to how much of a beast their API can be. You will find the best resources here, which will document all of the XML that can be configured. It might also be relevant to note that the official cross platform SDK is actually their Node.js client, which is available at github, which will definitely work on Ubuntu, better than the Ruby SDK.
Following is the list of services configurable by the azure-sdk-for-ruby
Base Management Service (creating affinity group, listing locations)
Cloud Service
Storage Management Service (Blob, Queue, Table)
Service Bus Service (Queue, Topic) - Could not make it work.
SQL Database Management Service
Virtual Machine Management Service
Virtual Image & Disk Management Service
Virtual Network Management Service
I have created a quick reference of available methods and short description of various Azure entities.

Can google API use .NET dlls

I have a .NET dll which wraps SQL data base to query the data base.
The data in SQL has to be displayed in Google spreadsheet using this .NET dll.
Is there a way to call .NET dll in Google spreadsheet?
You can implement a web service with microsoft azure (microsofts cloud computing platform). You google app can then call that web service and can way use your dll's this way.
