Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is a great addon but I do find the 100kb limit a bit restricting. I don't want to have to worry about hitting it. I mostly save text based information but its just a bit concerning that the limit is so small.

Describe the solution you'd like
For the people who want to store more information, it'd be great to have an option to sync via google drive or dropbox. This gives users a lot more space to store data and have it synced in the cloud.

Thank you

Hello,
I'll look into it. However there are some complications... Currently the addon doesn't have any permissions, so it's secured by design so that no data can leak out (except for browser integrated synchronization which is encrypted).
So the only way to add sync capabilities with some remote server is by creating companion addon with the host permissions for "dropbox.com" and other domains.

One thing I would like to mention. Since I've released it, I've found a better compression library and much better encoding (not related to encryption) so when I release next version, the data will take much less space than they currently does.

But this may take a while as I'm in the middle of the big refactoring in my speed dial and now I have work from home again due to covid situation, so my productivity is down. But I'll do my best :), just be patient.
