One way of storing JAWS settings in the cloud is to use Dropbox in
combination with symbolic links.
Example:
1. Unload JAWS so you can move settings around, load Narrator or
another screen reader to get you by
2. Move %APPDATA%\Freedom Scientific to C:\Dropbox
3. Now that "Freedom Scientific" is in Dropbox, create a symlink to
it in %APPDATA% by running the following command with administrator privledges:
mklink /d "%APPDATA%\freedom scientific" "c:\Dropbox\freedom scientific"
4. Reload JAWS
I have used this technique for years to synchronize my JAWS settings
among laptops and desktops.

Hello everyone,
You can lend your voice and let Freedom Scientific know that a
cloud-based utility to store one's user settings and preferences
would be much appreciated. In the event of a total migration to a
new computer as is mentioned below or when reinstalling JAWS after
a crash or when a computer comes back from the shop such a feature
could be a big time saver as these settings could be stored in a
remote location and reloaded when JAWS is reinstalled or moved to a
new computer. Voice your support for the inclusion of such a
feature by writing to: [email protected]. Hope this helps.

Subject: Comprehensive Jaws Migration
Morning folks.
I'm going to be switching to a new machine, and I want to keep Jaws as
consistent as possible. This means migrating settings, dictionary, and
anything else that might help to keep a consistent experience. Just what do
I need to migrate to make this happen?
Also, on a not so Jaws related note, anyone know what I'd need to move to
make sure my sound schemes move over so I don't have to recreate all those
paths again?
