So I just used the MEGA desktop sync app to set up a sync to my Idle Skilling save folder (check here to find your file path depending on browser you are using: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1023269/topics/1773866?page=1). Then using this approach, I can always revert my save file to a former state if something happens to it or it gets deleted. Here is a screenshot: https://gyazo.com/3359e2e9b67b551b3d4f4d6181cfbb54
This same approach can be used with any hoster that offers a desktop sync app, like dropbox or any other. Enjoy your quick-and-dirty new cloud save feature!
A little more explanation of what to do:
1. create a account with MEGA file hoster (or any other, like dropbox)
2. download their desktop sync client
3. then find your save file as per the linked forum thread: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1023269/topics/1773866?page=1) or just search your computer for a file called "mysave.sol" with the windows search function. This could give you multiple hits though if you play a lot of flash games that save their progress like this. So the one for Idle Skilling is in a folder called "KongFinalOct8.swf"
Example: I am running the game on Firefox and my savefile called "mySave.sol" is in the folder
"C:\Users\3bobbo3\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\JWCRDGFU\chat.kongregate.com\gamez\0029\9045\live\KongFinalOct8.swf". So the full path to the file is
"C:\Users\3bobbo3\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\JWCRDGFU\chat.kongregate.com\gamez\0029\9045\live\KongFinalOct8.swf\mySave.sol"
Path for Chrome browser is:
"C:\Users\<username here>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot#SharedObjects\R3V8RQ9V\chat.kongregate.com\gamez\0029\9045\live\KongFinalOct8.swf\" (thanks Didux01!)
4. then set this folder where you found the save file in or the file itself, depending on your SYNC client, up as a synced folder in MEGA (in MEGA you set the folder up as sync), and voila, automatic cloud saving! Enjoy <3
EDIT: lavaflame2, the dev, finally added in cloudsave feature, yay!
EDIT2: my bad, only for mobile and PC is not supposed to get it ever. So we are just lucky it can be done with cloud file hosters like MEGA or Dropbox I guess. Better than nothing, right?

can you dumb it down for those who have no idea how coding/cloud/whatever works? I have no idea as to what is considered the "easy" fix.
