For me, it's a combination of private VPS that I can SSH to and VS Code Remote Development.

How is it different from USB stick / external hard disk?

Yeah would love to hear more about that option! @pacharapol I think it's different because you would leave the VPS connected to a main computer and I assume you could leave it in place and then any other computer could use that VPS remotely as a hard drive "in the cloud" by logging into it.

Well, aside from keeping all your code in one place, you can have your git histories, commits without syncing, and you can run build jobs, run docker containers, deploy codes, forwarding ports to preview code from your local computer. Pretty much anything you can do on your local computer, you can do it on the remote cloud.
