Open Cloud Save for Linux

A tool used for syncing your save games across your devices

Overview

Open Cloud Save is a free, open-source tool for syncing game save files across multiple devices and platforms.

It works on Linux, including SteamOS, and also supports Windows and MacOS.

This software is designed for players who want to keep their game progress up to date without needing official cloud save support from game developers.

One key feature of Open Cloud Save is that it lets you sync save data between different game stores, such as Steam and the Epic Game Store.

This means if you play the same game on different platforms, your progress can stay connected.

The app also lets you choose which files to sync using pattern matching, so you can exclude things like graphic settings and only sync your actual save data.

Because Open Cloud Save is currently in beta, it is not yet fully tested.

Users should back up their save files manually before using it to avoid losing important data.

The tool includes a dry-run feature by default, which shows you what changes will happen before syncing your saves.

This extra step helps protect your data by letting you review changes before they are applied.

Open Cloud Save offers flexibility with customizable save file locations and lets you add new save definitions without relying on developers’ cloud save features.

It is a reliable option for tech-savvy users who want a safe way to manage game saves on Linux and across different storefronts.
