4 years ago We have been looking at this. It appears that these solutions are environment specific and are done through built in configuration of dependencies or by startup shell scripts.
We recently found out that we can't do the "relatively easy" approach of saving libraries to to google drive. It will work in some cases but can't be relied on because google drive does not support many native file system features, in particular the ability to link files is missing.

Is feature related to a problem?
This addresses - How do we let people continue working with the same applications and data after their job ends and they start a new job.
Describe the Proposed Feature
We plan to implement a feature that alllows a snapshot of the current environment to be captured as a container image. These images would allow for the contents of the application disk to be frozen and restored.
Prior to implementing this we need a way to lessen the pain of people having to invest time in customizing their environment only to have it wiped away during a back-end maintenance or other issue that causes their Sid app to have to be terminated.
