Your uBlock Origin settings are precious, and in order to prevent any automated browser's syncing task to cause precious local data (or cloud data) to be mistakenly overwritten, the chosen solution in uBlock Origin is to _never_ ever export to/import from cloud storage without **the user expressly asking uBlock Origin to do so**.

If you do not have a syncing account with your browser vendor, I have observed that the cloud storage feature can still be used as a local clipboard to save a pane settings. Might be convenient sometimes, but please do not use cloud storage as a replacement for [uBlock Origin's backup feature](./Dashboard:-Settings#backuprestore-section).
