Description
Cloud Sync is too slow (I use webdav protocol)
The reason for my configuration is loading large files, which may include savestates and videodriver cache files.
I suggest a solution - make it possible to choose which types of files to upload and which not.
And exclude cache files completely, why synchronize them?

Research direction
Start by locating RetroArch's Cloud Sync entry point and its WebDAV handling. Define how users would choose file types to upload and how cache files are identified; done should include configurable exclusions that prevent selected large files and cache files from synchronizing.
