Move documents to Slack from iCloud Drive

Question

Move documents to Slack from iCloud Drive

Hi. I recently upgraded my Mac and noticed it's saving everything to the iCloud Drive. I collaborate with people on Slack remotely. People are unable to open the files I upload. I create my files in MS Word for Mac. Can these files not be uploaded because they're in the Cloud? If this is the case, how can I bypass the Cloud and save the files on my hard drive? I tried unchecking the box next to Desktop and Documents in the iCloud settings, but it said it would delete everything from my hard drive. Please help! Thank you.

Mac mini, macOS 12.4
