Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I install NVDA on a new computer I don't want to spend hours transferring my User Configuration from the older computer to the newer one over manually.

Describe the solution you'd like

NV Access website allows to create an account which is currently used only to manage purchases on the site itself. I would like to use it to sync NVDA User Configuration among computers allowing to pack it up from the older one and restore it on the newer one. Also, if I use two or more computers and I change something in one of them, the other ones follow the change.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If it is not possible to use the NV Access account, I propose to lean on external services such as Google or Microsoft.

Looking at the old issue @seanbudd referenced to, I see that this is now way easy with NVDA addon store live and running.
The clowd profile need not store the addon files, just maintain the user's addons list, and the NVDA on user's machine refers to that list, downloads everything that it can find on the addon store. Even with hundreds of addons per user, I don't think storring just the information could be a huge problem.
This can be a great quality of life improvement for users.

My idea was to store the entire user configuration folder in order to sync also add-ons downloaded from external sources, user settings and profiles, speech dictionaries, etc.
