Next problem though is that even though I click download, it seems almost nothing happens.
Just the spinning wheel at the upper left corner and that's it.
When you purchase/download content (games, videos, DLC, mods, etc) it stores it in the Steam Cloud. That data then stays stored on your cloud space until you click download. The data is then transferred to your harddrive. Once on your harddrive, you can use it, modify it, play it, do whatever you want. When you update data, as in modify files or download updates for games, that data also sends a copy to your cloud space so in the future, if you ever uninstall a game, the information of the last save is already there. This is to prevent incidents where you can't reinstall due to the data being out of sync. Being out of sync means the data on your harddrive and the data in the cloud don't line up perfectly. There is missing data on the cloud space. That's why the updates are required. Also, when the client updates, it too sends a copy of itself to your cloud space so when or if you reinstall Steam, it's already there.
All useful information, thank you.
One snag, though. I've been having trouble actually downloading that save data to my Deck. I have a game with cloud support, but the Deck isn't getting the data from online.
