CS is an old file format, it could be that you have used features that only were available in CC or higher versions. Do you have a copy saved as the most recent version (or a backup)?

I am using ai cc 2014 and saving as ai illustrator cs for adode stock. I made a background and saved it as an ai cs illustrator for the adobe stock, and then opened it again, there is only an image there. why? if I send this file, they will open this file and will not be able to edit or change the vector (sorry, my English is not very good)

How did you make the background, what tools and features did you use, it may be that they are not available in CS versions.

Are you sure it was saved as CS and not .eps? EPS does not support transparency and elements are rasterized to keep the appearance. Does Adobe Stock really want CS instead of CC or 2020?

Yes, I saved it as a cs file. this also happened with the eps file, a similar case. as far as I know, adobe stock accepts a cs file

They probably accept a CS file, but if that ruins your file, why not save as CC or better, 2020?

it doesn't have to be google drive or dropbox, you can use any other provider.
try your own creative cloud folder,

Most important thing when saving to lower versions:
Always save the file in the current version first. Did you do that?
