Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Cloud Saves? Steamdeck>PC

I am trying to confirm both compatibility for Fallen Order - as well as for Jedi Survivor before I preorder or ever purchase the game.

• Cloud Saving is enabled on my accounts on both the PC and Steamdeck within steam - but I find no such options within the EA App
• EA app has been trashy and buggy on the steamdeck...

Here is my experience and looking for a seamless fix:

Purchased Fallen Order on Steam, and started playing it on my Steamdeck several days ago, progressing through the story.  

Then I downloaded Fallen Order through steam onto my gaming PC. Same Steam account, same EA account, and it prompted the EA App download as a launcher as well.

After initially downloading it, I started the game and my save from the progress on my steamdeck was there and playable.  Just loaded to confirm - and didn't continue playing on the PC at that point.

Instead, I continued on my steamdeck several more hours thinking the cloud is how this save transferred and I would be able to seamlessly go back and forth.  Progressing further into the story.

When going back to my PC yesterday, I booted up the game and the save was still at the same progression point from the initial download (not including the additional playtime on steamdeck)?

Am I missing something to initiate resuming these saves?

I've only found one solution posted anywhere of grabbing the save from the root folder and copying it to a 2nd pc - but this is kinda tedious in today's age of cloud capabilities... and I don't want to hookup my steamdeck to pull a save everytime i want to game on the pc.

What's the fix EA?...
