[Suggestion] Add 'sync' option

[nelson6e65]

Should be great ad Sync option, in addition to Backup and Restore, in order to solve possible "merge" conflicts instead of overwrite on multi backup calls in multiples instances.

Possibly even an auto-sync on startup or shutdown option? But sync is a great idea.

Next version will check for possible outdated backups when launching Atom.

That sounds great, thanks!

Next version will check for possible outdated backups when launching Atom.

Now when I open Atom I seem to always get this message about my settings being out of date. It's not clear what I should do. Is it telling me I should backup (local settings are newer than those in the cloud)? Or that I should restore (settings in cloud are newer than my local ones)? The orange dialog gives me options to do both backup and restore but there's no way of knowing which I should click.

@johnjcamilleri unfortunately right now it's impossible to detect which one is newer. Maybe a good enhancement would be to display backup's date, but local changes are not timestamped so it's up to the user to remember which is more accurate.

If implemented, please make it an opt-in feature. Unless enhancement #281 is in place. This is useful to share settings with the whole team without letting everyone messing it up.

Thanks for this great tool. Tien
