iCloud Archive - MS Word - Multiple Macs

I have two Macs and use iCloud. I recently was on Mac #2 looking for a Document I update every day on Mac #1.

I searched all of iCloud. Could not find the file name in the folder I know for a fact I was saving it. I kept renaming the file, saving in the same location. I go back to Finder, iCloud, the file is not there.

Finally, I look at the path, and its stored in "iCloud Archive". I never heard of this or what is the purpose. I don't even see a folder called iCloud Archive.

I need to be able to save a document in iCloud and be able to find it while using both my Macs.

Can you help clear this up for me.

Thanks!
