Offline copy of files from nmwextensions.blob.core.windows.net (Planned)

Problem - We are currently blocked from being able to use Image Management in Nerdio as our Security team wont open up access to nmwextensions.blob.core.windows.net. The risk assessment that was performed at the time stated supply chain attacks via malicious code injection as the reason this URL wont be opened up. As we are a bank, we operate in a tightly controlled cloud environment.

Description - Provide the ability for customers to download and store the files from nmwextensions.blob.core.windows.net in and internal repo and provide the ability in the Nerdio config to point to this internal repo.

Vision - I am sure this requirement is not unique to us as a customer operating in a secure cloud environment. The ability to provide flexibility for customers that cant just open everything up to the internet i believe would be a good addition to the product.

I've been lucky that security has always allowed this so far. But once it became critical. Therefore, I think it would be cool if you could start a sync from Nerdio and update your own repo, like with the Scripted Actions import via GitHub. This would also reduce costs on the storage account side at Nerdio. When upgrading, the sync is always started, and then time-controlled or at the push of a button.
