This NEW option is horrible. Files are not updating, not opening correctly. I don't want this option but I cannot choose to save as .ai only files.

WHY is this??!!

Illustrator cloud is offered as an option the first time you save a document after updating. 

If you inadvertenty chose Cloud Documents, its going there.

 

To fix, go to Save As and click the "On Your Computer" button to switch to your local desktop.

If you go to Preferences > File Handling, you can set the Default file location: on your computer.

@defaultngiv7bw6v7xw @Ton Frederiks is correct - but that option is only availble in 2023, depending on what version you have.
