Confusion over Creative Cloud Files Folder vs. Cloud Documents

Three things to note before I ask my question:

  1. On the CC Desktop App, there is a section for "Cloud Documents."
  2. On the web version, there is a tab for "Cloud Documents" (same as above,) but there's an additional tab for "Synced Files."
  3. On my local machine, there is a "Creative Cloud Files" folder.

 

Confused already? You should be. I don't know why there are so many different places to save something, but onward with my question.

 

So let's say I started an Illustrator file and saved it locally to my machine. Later on, I save a copy of it to my "Creative Cloud Files" folder on my machine (because I literally don't know how else to get it on the cloud at this juncture. Enlighten me if you can.) It WILL NOT show up through the Desktop App in "Cloud Documents," but it DOES show up via the web version under "Synced Files."

 

  1. What's the point of this (unnecessarily confusing) set-up?
  2. Any way I can get that "Creative Cloud Files" folder to show up in the Desktop App? It's stupid to have to launch the Desktop App for some files and then launch a web browser for other files.

 

Handy visual attached.

Thanks for attempting to clarify, but this doesn't address my question. I understand the difference between cloud docs vs. synced files. My issue is a navigational one.

 

"Any way I can get that "Creative Cloud Files" folder to show up in the Desktop App? It's stupid to have to launch the Desktop App for some files and then launch a web browser for other files."

 

I'm convinced the answer is no at this point.
