Hi,
It depends on your cloud provider.
I have a nextcoud cloud. On my Android, it is stored in Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

i did not have any cloud provider.... how to setup a cloud provider in android app? i did not see about

Using your phone's storage is fine as well, something like Downloads or Document folders, you can explore with the Files app on your phone.

for cloud provider, maybe you can follow https://moneymanagerex.org/blog/mmex-cl ... nextcloud/

If you have a google account, you have a cloud provider.
On my android, i use IodeOS. An ungooglised mobile.
I use Davx5 apk for adding nextcloud account.

Sure, here is the translation of your text into English:

I'm not sure I understood.... I have an Android phone and obviously a Google account. In the early days of MMEx, I put the db on Google Drive, but I noticed many problems as it created errors. I also tried with OneDrive, but here it created many duplicate files with a number at the end, and after a while, it was difficult to understand which was the latest version.

Currently, the path is /storage/emulated/0/android/data/come.money.manager.ex/files/databases/money_manager.mmb which I think is a local file, while the remote file is something like: content://com.android.externalstorage.document/document/primary%3amoneymanagerex%2fmonet_manager.mmb which I don't understand if it is local or cloud and exactly where it is.

Is there a better way to manage the db that you can suggest to me? With which steps?

Thank you

When you open your mmex file (in your google storage : content://com.android.externalstorage.document/document/primary%3amoneymanagerex%2fmonet_manager.mmb) the first time , MMEX copy your .mmb file in the local storage (/storage/emulated/0/android/data/come.money.manager.ex/files/databases/money_manager.mmb).
Each time you run MMEX, there is a synchronization between google storage and local storage.

ok , but

content://com.android.externalstorage.document/document/primary

where is ? on google drive i did not see it.

You gave us this directory. But I hadn't quite read your comment above: “something like that”.
May I suggest you do a search on the net (google search?), for setting up a google account on a smartphone?
