is there a way to keep a copy of a team project saved locally?

We are a small shop, working off a local server. We primarily cut commercials and have the need to have assistants and several editors working on the same project simultaneously. I was really excited about Team Projects as it seems like the answer to our collaboration needs. However, we need to be able to save and access the project from our server and not just in the cloud. Is there a way to keep a copy of a team project saved locally or do they only exist in the cloud. If they only exist in the cloud, considering the sheer volume of work that we do, how do we keep our team project list from getting overwhelmingly huge?

Whenever you open a Team Project, a local copy is stored on that workstation, so you can keep editing if your internet connection goes down, and so editing is responsive even with a slow internet connection. You can also convert Team Projects to local ones, as Joost pointed out. The original Team Project will still be in your Team Project list, though, and you can't get or share changes with a local project (or while using a Team Project without an internet connection).

As for the Team Projects list, you will only see Team Projects there that you have created, or accepted an invitation to. If you're done with a Team Project that you created, you can remove it from the list with the "Archive" option, and bring it back later if needed. If you didn't create it, you can remove yourself from the collaborators list for the Team Project, and it will no longer appear in your list. You'll need to have someone re-invite you if you want to use it again, though.

You can convert a Team Project to a Project anytime. But this is a manual proces:

does converting it make it no longer a Team project or does it make a local copy of the project and keep it a Team project?

It will create a new local project form the Team Project. But you will be able to continue working in the team project. So it is good way to make 'local' versions, as you requested. Note that there are some limitations with the feature when you include Ae footage.
