3DS Release: 3DSync, a utility letting you upload Checkpoint saves to Dropbox
Despite cloud saving being a pretty common feature nowadays and even the PSVita supporting it with PS Plus, Nintendo decided to leave the 3DS out of the party and as a result, you need to backup Checkpoint saves manually by reading them from the SDCard.

Now, things on this front have started to change thanks to Kyraminol’s 3DSync despite the console almost 9 years old.
As its name may suggest, 3DSync is a homebrew utility letting you upload Checkpoint save games to Dropbox although it’s in early stages at this point. Using it is pretty simple as it only requires you to:
- Install the CIA or a run a 3DSX fil
- Use this configurator website to generate settings in order to use the Dropbox API
- This generates a ‘3DSync.ini’ file which you should put in /3ds/3DSync/3DSync.ini on your SDCard
- Backup save games with Checkpoint
- Open 3DSync and have your saves uploaded to the cloud!
Its developer currently plans to add support for more platforms including more cloud services, a local PC client and the ability to transfer saves wirelessly between different 3DS consoles.
