Add the Cloud to the Persistence Search Path

On the desktop, the default value of the persistence search path, $PersistencePath, does not include the cloud. Here is how to add it.

For a Kernel Session...

Add "Cloud" to the list of locations in $PersistencePath:

Wolfram Language code: AppendTo[$PersistencePath, "Cloud"]

Set up $PersistencePath to be initialized to a value that includes the "Cloud" location in new front end sessions:

Wolfram Language code:

InitializationValue[$PersistencePath, "FrontEndSession"] = {"KernelSession", "FrontEndSession", "Local", "LocalShared", "Cloud"}

Run the initialization and check the value of $PersistencePath:

Wolfram Language code:

Initialize[$PersistencePath];
$PersistencePath

Any new kernel started under the same front end session will perform this initialization automatically.
When the front end quits, the initialization is lost.

Set up $PersistencePath so that it is always initialized to a value that includes "Cloud":

Wolfram Language code: InitializationValue[$PersistencePath, "Local"] = {"KernelSession", "FrontEndSession", "Local", "LocalShared", "Cloud"}

Run the initialization and check the value of $PersistencePath:

Wolfram Language code:

Initialize[$PersistencePath];
$PersistencePath

Any new kernel started under the same desktop user account will perform this initialization automatically.
The initialization is permanently stored in your home directory.

Adding "Cloud" to $PersistencePath will add noticeable delays to all persistence and initialization commands.

All existing initializations for $PersistencePath can be removed with the following:

Wolfram Language code: Quiet[Remove[InitializationValue[$PersistencePath, $PersistencePath]]]

In the cloud and on mobile, "Cloud" is contained in $PersistencePath by default.
