Hi like in subject.
Anyone from You know how i can config Nano editor to save my work directly in cloud storage, and save edited document automaticly after 5 min?
Normaly i use my Synology server and my own cloud. I can ez config pages editor to save my work directly in cloud but same i wont do with Nano editor. Good will be also if Nano can auto save my work when i writing, after 5 min. Anyone know this is possible? I look for Nano help and bug report on FSF but i dont wont start there becouse nano official dont have forum only mailing list and bug report, then i cant ask them. Only add wish to developer. But i dont know maybe now i can config Nano to using cloud. Anyone try this before? I wait for any sugestion thanks.

The options for the config file are here:
https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nanorc.5.html

It looks like you can set a directory to save to, but I don't know if that works in the cloud:

set operatingdir directory

nano will only read and write files inside directory and its subdirectories. Also, the current directory is changed to here, so files are inserted from this directory. By default, the operating directory feature is turned off.

Doesn't appear a way to autosave though.
