Thanks for your reply. So i worked 1 month configuring all my 3 projects in a cloud for testing purposes just to configure it all again in our productive system?

Yes, I'm afraid you did waste a lot of time. 

If you were on server, there are add-ons that can help you transfer config, but Cloud doesn't support them.  The best you could do is take a backup of Cloud, download it and restore it on a temporary server system, then use the add-ons to transfer the configuration to production.
