Difficulty: Medium. You'll need to know some C++ to be able to tweak with our launcher and you'll eventually have to pick up knowledge about the API/SDK of the selected cloud service(s).

The idea is to have cloud integration in our launcher, so the user doesn't have to manually copy his/her save files between his/her devices. The more providers (Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive/etc.) we support, the better. The implementation would look something like this on the UI: The user clicks on the Options button in the launcher and goes to the 'Cloud' tab, where he/she can configure his/her accounts. Then he/she does it in all of his/her devices, and ScummVM (and the selected cloud service) should handle the rest without any user interaction.
