Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

I believe settings sync is designed to only work with VS Code-branded products, not OSS builds like code-server, which unfortunately means there might be nothing we can do.

Still, we should investigate and if there is nothing we can do we should at least patch the button out so it does not appear.

I wish owners could fix this. At least some kind of workaround would be to let us export Code-Server settings, so that we could import them later on.

The current state of setting sync is the worst.

I guess this explains why I clicked the Cloud button about 20 times with no result.

It's sad about Setting Sync, that used to be an amazing plugin. I preferred it over VSCode's built in sync functionality.

Hopefully something gets done to address this. Even a self-hosted option would be better than nothing, or re-adding the ability to sync to a gist.

Closing for now since this is by Microsoft's design.
