I will do my best to explain this as best as I can with "limited computer tecnical expertise."
I was playing ME3 today on Computer A, saving as I go manually like I always do. Internet went down a sec...it restored itself by just waiting and kept playing a litlte bit more.
Exited game - had some work to do.
Upon exiting, I got a cloud data not synced up with local. I like a moron chose use cloud data (bad default imo). Well it uploaded a game 3 hours earlier. Wasnt happy. It was save #32 I think.
I went into my documents/bioware/save file and there were saves there called John Sheperd 32 for example.
I looked all over the internet and found that if I went into origin details there was an option for reverting game to its last local saved file. Boom fixed! Logged into game and was back at my save 90 and 3 hours of work.
Logged off...didnt get that wierd out of sync message.
1) When I go home tonight and play on Computer B...am i going to get a wierd message that says out of sync? I dont want in that case to use local saved files because its a different computer. yes? I would want to use cloud BUT how do I know that my save 97 has been properly updated to cloud? Does this take a few hours of non play?
2) How can I manually upload my current locally saved game (which is current) to cloud so that I dont lose this work? Or does it do it automatically when I logged off a few minutes ago.
3) Checked in my documents/bioware/save and it still has Sheperd 32 and not 97 unless that is not related. Clearly my last local saved game which I resored to is current. Maybe the save file is a origin number?
Im so sorry for the long winded post....but I could really use your brilliance and expertise on this matter as i am not super computer saavy.
Thans,

Sorry, I'm not an expert but I'll try to help
It normally uploads almost immediately. If you look at the game icon in origin after closing the game, you will see a progress bar at the bottom which is it uploading your save. This normally takes at most 30 seconds.
If it says you are out of sync on comp. B then it is probably referring to the fact the cloud data is that of comp. A in which case you will want to download the cloud data. Personally, I would reccomend you check the times shown when this message occurs to see if it is comp. A's save.
As I said above, it should do it when you exit the game. I'm not sure if there is a manual way of doing it.
I think the numbers 32 and 97 represent different Shepherds - that is different saves. I have Jean Shepherd who is 32 and Nate Shepherd who is 12 so this is a likely cause so this is probably unrelated.
