If you want to store your data on external services, there are R packages to enable you to access that data easily:

{googlesheets4} for Google Sheets
{googledrive} for Google Drive
The {rdrop2} package has been archived, but it previously worked with Dropbox
{boxr} for Box
{Microsoft365R} for Sharepoint, OneDrive, and other Microsoft products

Another, more complicated, option is to use the {pins} package, which provides tools to connect to data from a variety of sources.
