Can a Tampermonkey userscript save data into a synced storage?

I have a userscript for Google Chrome's Tampermonkey. Currently, it uses HTML5 local storage to save its data but I would like this data to be synchronized across all computers the signed-on user uses.

The GM_setValue function only saves data to the local disk, and that data is not synced to other computers.

I don't need compatibility with Firefox.

Is it possible to do this?

That question only concerns saving locally, not to all computers the Chrome user uses. – Petr Hudeček Feb 14 '16 at 20:27
Are you sure `GM_setValue` doesn't sync? If so, you should make a note of why this does not work in the question. – Alexander O'Mara Feb 14 '16 at 20:33
For my experience Tampermonkey doesn't sync scripts either – Zorgatone Jan 11 '17 at 06:59
It is possible to sync scripts if you enable it in Tampermonkey's advanced options. – Petr Hudeček Jan 11 '17 at 12:27
Not possible at the moment - [there's an issue open](https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/825) in the extension's repo, however. – double-beep Jan 29 '23 at 16:48
