Cloud backup/share for character setting, system setting, and macros

[Lainmyst]

I know this has been addressed by SE in the past and they declined to make this change because the idea was to store things like macro and hot bar as well as other character settings on the server a character is on. This existed in FFXI and no one ever had a security issue. The problem with the past idea was storing this info on the servers we play on would cause even more memory issues for the servers. The cloud idea is good though as this is becoming a very prevalent for many things and would be separate from the servers we play on. They could also have a default storage amount and charge for additional storage. I hate the thought of having to set up everything all over again if and when I decide to get a PS4. Heck I have cloud support to save my gaming mouse settings to the cloud so if I plug my mouse into another computer my settings are there. It would take time for SE to set this up if they chose to do so.

You know between PC its not so bad, because you can transfer files. PS4 is not so good, mainly because of sony's making file access such a pain in the ass.

If SE can somehow make the PS4 client able to read and transfer the FFXIVconf.fea file from a flash drive that'll be good enough for me.

In FFXI since you were storing all settings, including macros on a server I could switch between my pc, xbox 360 or ps2 and have everything the same. Currently I only have one PC but plan on getting a ps4 as back up if my pc went down and had to replace it. Having a cloud system for storing our settings would be great. Not sure if SE would look at doing this. Depends on their budget.
