Feature Request: Cross-device memory sync for same user account

Feature Request

Cross-device memory sync for Claude Code

Problem

Claude Code stores memory files and session history locally in .claude/. Users who work across multiple machines (e.g. desktop and laptop) with the same account have completely separate memory and context on each device. This means:

• Feedback and preferences saved on one machine don't carry over
• Project context and user memories must be rebuilt from scratch on each device
• Conversations can't be continued across devices
• The experience feels fragmented for users who regularly switch machines

Proposed Solution

Sync Claude Code memory files across devices for the same authenticated user account. This could be:

1. Cloud-synced memory — memory files sync via Anthropic's servers tied to the user's account
2. Configurable sync path — let users specify a custom memory directory (e.g. a OneDrive/Dropbox/iCloud folder) in settings
3. Session continuity — optionally allow resuming conversations started on another device

At minimum, a memory_path setting in settings.json that overrides the default local path would solve this elegantly and let users choose their own sync provider.

Current Workaround

Manual junction/symlink from the local memory folder to a cloud-synced directory. This works but is fragile (different usernames across machines means different project paths, and it requires manual setup per machine).

Environment

• Claude Code on Windows 11
• Multiple machines with same Anthropic account
