Great Guide. Also nice to just learn about how to get a Windows save to Linux

[kitty]

Thanks for the rec! Any other service would definitely work. I just make the walk-through for something specific due to the troubleshooting on my other guide.

MEGA is definitely solid, but if someone didn't want to make another account for a service then I would personally recommend SyncThing, which runs locally on the devices you install it on. Works on Windows and Linux devices like the Steam Deck.

[kitty]

Oooh yea great idea! I'll definitely look into it. Thank you!

gosh dang spelling errors >~<

Some tips, you should defiantly create a shortcut on desktop to the path on both steamdeck and windows. Will save a LOAD of time in clicking through files.

Also, I haven't personally looked into this but using the 'Decky Loader' there is a cloud saves extension which I think might be looking into OP.
