Add Live Account synchronization for settings

[YoYoLups]

As in Visual Studio, it will cool to have our settings saved into the cloud, synchronied for instance with our live account into OneDrive.

When I'm using VsCode on several computers, it's a real pain in the ass to have all environment with the same settings

Github may be a good alternative for synchronize settings, either via personal repo or via a public gist

Actually there's 1 extension supports this, it uses github to sync settings.

i was just about to add request for this.

It could just use your Onedrive folder for settings / extensions.

so +1 for this one. I know there sync via github, but built-in sync via onedrive (or other services) would be awesome

a built-in sync via onedrive could be really great.

think about add independent Account support in vscode site, allow login using Windows account or other Oauth provider.

This is the single biggest missing feature from VScode for me at present, the ability to sync my keymaps and extensions across computers. I am resorting to maintaining some gists so that I may at least achieve this manually, and update these repos any time something changes, but with Microsoft's offerings for Cloud platforms, there really is no excuse to have this as a feature, other than the time spent developing it. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Yes Please!

What i suggest, to ask user if they want to sync then code should install my settings sync extension 😄 upon installing code.

I am planning to import export the settings - if user selects onedrive computer folder it will be sync with one drive and dropbox also - without asking user its credentials - just placing the files in user onedrive / dropbox folder and retrieve from them.

As in the end settings are only text sync to any oauth compatible web storage of choice
