Description:
If you are using LibreOffice with multiple computers regularly, tweaking UI/Settings can be overwhelmingly laborous as you have to do it to each installation separately.

E.g. if you change something under Customize... (e.g. Toolbar tools or Context menus) you have to do it separately for each installation.

One solution would be that you can select/define a custom location for the settings folder that is typically (in Windows) located under USER/AppData/Roaming/Libreoffice and put this folder to Dropbox, Onedrive or any other cloud syncing service that you are using.

Of course there could come issues if all instances are open simultaneously in different computers and this folder has settings related to the state of the program. So in long term in might make sense to separate content of the folder to 2 parts. A. those that can be synced via 3rd party cloud service, B. those that cannot.

no sync

should be sync option
