[SOLVED] Help with cross-platform Steam Cloud Saves

So I'm trying to add Cloud Saves to my games on Steam.
I managed to get it working between two Windows computers, but the transfer does not work between Windows and Linux/SteamOS. (All other combinations probably also don't work - I wasn't able to test them.)

For Windows, I wrote:
Root: WinAppDataRoaming
Subdirectory: Renpy/Game-Name

Mac:
Root: MacHome
Subdirectory: /Library/RenPy/Game-Name

Linux / SteamOS:
Root: LinuxHome
Subdirectory: .renpy/Game-Name

For the Root Overrides:
Original Root: WinAppDataRoaming
OS: Linux + SteamOS
New Root: LinuxHome
Add/Replace Path: .renpy/Game-Name
Replace Path: YES

...
(The same pattern for the other combinations.)

Where did I mess up? Could someone who got it working tell me what they wrote for the Root Paths and Root Overrides?

For Windows and Linux you can just use a single Root Path without any Root Overrides.

Root: App Install Directory
Subdirectory: game/saves/
Pattern: *
OS: All
Recursive: No
Cross-Platform: Yes

I haven't tried this on MacOS though. That might require a Root Override.

Wow, that was a lot simpler than what I had, and works like a charm. Thanks!
