Steam cloud - how to activate?

[Luggs]

So just built a new PC and need to copy my steam games over. Installed steam on new PC, downloaded a couple of games then realised I need to copy my game save files over. Found out about steam cloud saves and this sounded perfect!

I go into steam/settings/cloud and click the box to enable steam cloud sync, hit OK and steam closes down. Nothing happens? Is it still a thing? I have spent ages going through menu options and cannot see anything else relating to this topic? Spent over an hour on google looking for answers but nothing...

Any ideas?

Also, some of the games I play don't appear to support the cloud option, any suggestions for them? Manually copy some local files from old to new PC?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Wow, thanks for such a prompt reply! I will give it a try now. Going from a 560ti to a 1080 i can't wait to see the difference in graphics

Would like to figure out why steam cloud is not working though? Is it still a thing?

Anyway, thanks very much for the help mate, appreciate it!

Aye, I guess its only an issue if you use multiple PC's or when you upgrade to a new one?

I think when I first DL'd steam I was renting a place that had no internet, so maybe that's my problem? On the cloud settings page, the box is un-ticked and when I tick it to turn it on, steam just shuts down. Maybe it never installed properly in first place? Guess i'll have to log a support ticket with steam as it just won't turn on...

Thanks for the tip on Game Save Manager, i'll try that tonight when back from work.
Cheers,
