The Steam Client does the work of ensuring that the files are kept synchronized across all computers the user may be accessing.

Avoid machine specific configurations such as video settings. The game can then access the files by reading them through the Cloud API or reading them directly from disk as usual. If the user changes computers, the files are automatically downloaded to the new computer prior to the game launching. Files specified in the Auto-Cloud configuration or written to disk (created, modified, deleted, etc.) using the Cloud API will automatically be replicated to the Steam servers after the game exits.
