Description

Describe your suggested feature

I am requesting a built-in way to sync app data across multiple devices (Mobile, Tablet, and Android TV). Currently, moving from one device to another requires manual backups, which is tedious for daily use.

Other details

Key Requirements:

Watch Progress: Sync "Continue Watching" and "Bookmarks" so I can pick up where I left off on a different device.

Repository Sync: Sync installed

repositories and plugins so I don't have to set them up manually on every new install.

Cloud Storage: Support for syncing via a simple cloud file (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or a GitHub Gist) or a self-hosted option like WebDAV.

Acknowledgements
  • My suggestion is NOT about adding a new provider
  • I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.

Research direction

Start by surveying the app's existing manual backup and data-persistence entry points for watch progress, bookmarks, installed repositories, and plugins. The feature is complete when those data are synchronized across Mobile, Tablet, and Android TV through a defined cloud or self-hosted option, without manual setup on each device.
