What version of Windows are you running? If its Win 10, I believe they have or will soon update it so that onedrive appears as a local drive. If you can get your cloud storage to appear as local storage, then maybe you could just use something like Robocopy to move the files. What are you using for cloud storage?

Store your eg tree xml in your cloud folder. Whenever you save the file it will be uploaded to drive or other cloud service.

z3us, you can do it by EventGhost itself, using Python (os.path & shutil)

I have an almost complete google drive plugin. Its not that fancy at the moment. But it supports opening, downloading, uploading, listing, deleting, trashing. I am working out a couple of things with the authentication, specifically renewing the token. I have to find out if there is a way to achieve this without user intervention. because of how the authentication works it requires that a port gets forwarded if you are using a router. I have set this up to be automatic (provided uPNP is turned on on the router). Unfortunately my router really sucks in the upnp department and doesn't respond to SSDP discover packets. so I am unable to test the functionality of this. I am going to poke about it for a little bit tonight to see if there may be a better way to go about the authentication aspect of it.
If you like the work I have been doing then feel free to Image
