I am working on a project in After Effects v23.0. If I go to File > Save As > there are no options to save my project to Creative Cloud. I am only provided the option to save a file on my computer. How can this be resolved? Thank you.

Check the CC app and your storage settings and the local sync folders. Also sign out an back in.

I appreciate the response. I have signed in and out several times. However, I don't understand what "check CC app and your storage settings and the local sync folders" means. If I use Illustrator or Photoshop and go to Save As, I have the option to save on my computer or the CC. I no longer have this option with After Effects. One day it was an option and now it is not. Per the screenshot from Illustrator, why am I not receiving this option or why did I lose this option in AE?

Saving to the cloud works by you saving to a folder on your local machine and the CC app automatically backs up that folder to the cloud.

It's worth identifying / changing the location of this folder. By default, mine was set to the C Drive, but I moved it to a much larger secondary drive and repointed the CC folder location:

I imagine it works this way because all the files in an AE project are referencing the file's location, rather than being stored in the document.
