If Storage is connected, saves sync would be started on ScummVM launch, on each manual and autosave and when Save/Load Dialog is opened. If one saves sync is already running, the other would be scheduled after the first one is finished to check whether there are new files to sync.

Loading from files which are being synced is not available. A popup with progress bar is shown in the Save/Load Dialog while ScummVM downloads files from the remote storage. In games with "complex" saves names loading is completely unavailable while files are being downloaded. While ScummVM uploads files, it's safe to use these files already.
