Feature Request - Settings in Cloud

[laxarus]

I was just migrating my pc and this came to my mind. I do not know if this is planned or not but please consider keeping the settings in the cloud (Onedrive, dropbox etc).
Notepad++ does this and it is immensely helpful when migrating or restoring from a backup.

What do you mean by this?

Sorry, I guess I was not clear enough.
It means that the the settings location can be defined from the UI and "everything" is reading the settings file (.ini or etc) from that location interactively. An example from notepad++

Everything does not support storing settings and data in the cloud.



For now, you can try storing settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything

Create a folder junction for:
%APPDATA%\Everything
to your cloud folder.

I don't recommend doing this as only one instance of Everything can run at a time.
Multiple instances will overwrite each others settings.

Yep, creating a junction folder to a cloud is a good way to achieve this.
To be clear, I did not meant to share the configuration on multiple instances. This suggestion was just to store your config on the cloud for disaster recovery scenario.
