can images uploaded to the cloud be seen by everyone?

i was doing a jigsaw and picked some very unsavory photos. Can i get banned because they were in the cloud for multiplayer or can only we see them?

No.

What you do in your game is up to you, and if it is only you playing, then you won't be banned. The steam cloud saves links as random strings of numbers and letters, while finding someone elses workshop content by putting in random links is theoretically possible, there is no way to tell which account it belongs to.

The only circumstances I could think of would be:

If you start servers with "unsavory photo"-jigsaws without saying so in the server name, then you might be reported. If you advertise "unsavory photo"-jigsaws in global chat, you might be kicked from it, or banned if you keep doing it.

If you uploaded a mod with "unsavory" photos, you might get the mod removed, and if you keep doing that you will maybe get your right to publish workshop mods removed.

Nah we just did jigsaws with photos like that and also unsavory stamp photos. This was all online but in a private game with a friend?

If everyone in the room consents to such content, then there is no reason to ban you, since nobody but you and friends can access it.

Yes and no, they are available to anyone with the link, but someone successfully getting the link without you directly sharing it (i.e hosting a game with it) is highly unlikely. I do not recommend hosting anything highly inappropriate in public lobbies, keep that private. Don't host or upload illegal material period.

Oh we were just doing a jigsaw and me being the immature little ♥♥♥♥ head i am i just had to make it a big d*ck to gross my friend out. It was a private password room with just us but im still worried because it required me to upload to the cloud.

No illegal stuff, dont worry
