Hey! Im interested in this - how exactly are you achieving this (what are you using)? Could you provide your progress so far?

Hi, I was going to look for people to beta test my initial version.

Right now I support 4 games, Let me know what you play and I will add it. This version asks the user for the game you play and the installation path. Then it knows where to look. Hopefully all games follow certain rules and don't store stuff randomly :-)

I might start a Hard Disk scanner if there is a desire to do so, but then I have to add either known paths or some filename checks.

The rest is done by pushing and pulling data to the cloud. I am now using a test server, which is slowish but works.

In the future I might make a launcher, but I suppose the way it work now it's ok you don't forget to push/pull. I still have to implement a "force" option in case you forgot. I'm going to write a bit more on my page soon.

I would beta test, but my other laptop can't run itch on Linux for some reason, do I only got one PC now. Also can you post a link to your page?

You don't need itch. 

To make my software smaller, you should download the .net core runtime from microsoft. Either that or the zip file will be huge (40mb maybe).

I'm finishing the page now, I'll keep you posted.

This is the page

https://ma0.itch.io/cloudsaver

I need to find a way to distribute keys for the download AND for the application. Either that or I need to build a register page on the server.

For the moment I'm using a Shared Hosting to host the data,  so I can't really test 100 users simultaneously.

See my messge below to get access to a beta if you wish.
