Hi,  
I can’t find a way to easily copy a production Directus Cloud Pro instance to a local one for developpement purposes.

Solutions proposed here [Feedback on schema migration / sync strategy - #2 by jonathanwagner](https://community.directus.com/t/feedback-on-schema-migration-sync-strategy/424/2) do not apply to cloud instances.

I have tried [GitHub - tractr/directus-sync: A CLI tool for synchronizing the schema and configuration of Directus across various environments.](https://github.com/tractr/directus-sync) but it’s not working with Directus Cloud as the extension can’t be enabled.

Is there any way to Sync a Directus Cloud instance to a local one ?

Thanks for your help
