Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Request to add a customisable path for save data in the UI.

Reason

I have several computers. Currently, in order to sync saves I need to keep copying from one to another and determining which is the latest. If the save data was remote such as on a cloud drive, it could be accessed from any of them.

This request is just for the save data folder, not the whole shadPS4 data folder, as that can grow very large in size.

Examples

No response

Issue 1909 ([Feature request] Automatic backup of savedata) was recently released, I didn't like the idea of automation, but I liked the idea of creating a backup copy of the save, even a PR 1967 was created for implementation (it has already been closed), and in general I had the same thoughts as you, set paths for saves https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadps4-qtlauncher/issues/58 and has multiple saves https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/pull/1967#issuecomment-2565260489.

You can do something like this

This has been implemented in shadps4-emu/shadPS4#2199

I've tested it by setting the save folder to an iCloud Drive, and accessing it using two different Macs.

It has worked without issue so far, so I'll close this FR.
