Well, I was about to comment that the lack of cloud save is the absolute dealbraker for me as I play games at home and at work, so if I can't sync saves automatically then I won't buy a game from there(#1 reason why I haven't bought Metro Exodus for instance, game which I am otherwise super interested in).

But I guess that makes me a vocal minority :P

I used to “cloud save” my Borderlands 2 save files by symlinking the save game folder to a Dropbox folder
Yes, that would be an option if my work allowed any services like that(and yes, it's slightly odd that dropbox/google drive are not allowed, but Steam cloud sync is).
Not sure if it helps any, but box.net allows webdav access and can be mounted natively by Windows.
Oh but it's not a technical issue - both dropbox and google drive would install and work fine, we have full administrative access on our machines with no restrictions. But it is against policy.
