Save/load game online

May be stupid question - but can I can I save game I play currently on my cellphone and load it up and continue playing on my laptop?
thx

if you use a cloud storage service, you can make openttd save into the directories synchronized by that service, e.g. by symlinking your save directory into that area.

ok, thanks - for example if I use google disk, would it work? is there any "how to do it" file?

i certainly don't know all of the hundreds cloud storage services out there, but i'll just assume the answer is "yes".

usually, they create a directory somewhere in your user's home directory, and how to make a symlink should be the same on any unix-based system (such as android), with the command "ln -s" command. i'm leaving finding a method to run this command as an exercise to the reader.

basically that reduces the problem to 4 steps:

1. locate openttd's save folder
2. locate the folder synchronized by the cloud storage service
3. move the save folder (1) to the cloud storage folder (2)
4. make a symlink between the new location and the old one
