Reset the current directory to the cloud root:

A cloud object with a relative path now goes back to being placed in the user's cloud root directory:

Check the current cloud directory:

Set the current directory to a subdirectory relative to the current one:

A cloud object with a relative path name will be placed into the "results" directory:

Set the current directory to a subdirectory relative to the root directory:

A cloud object with a relative path name is placed in the "/planets/mars" directory:

A cloud object can be used to specify the new directory:

A cloud object with a relative path goes there:

Setting to $CloudRootDirectory cloud object is the same as SetCloudDirectory[]:

Similarly, you can use "/" to set the cloud directory to its root:

Using the two-argument form of CloudObject can achieve the same effect as setting a working cloud directory. Initialize a variable to a working cloud directory:

Use the variable as the second argument to CloudObject to indicate the base directory for the relative path in the first argument:

Be aware that calling SetCloudDirectory with a relative path (a path without a leading "/") will change the directory relative to the current directory, which can lead to confusion if you forget what the current directory is. Set the cloud directory:

Repeating the same call results in setting to a directory with the same name repeated:

To avoid the nesting, use an absolute path, adding a "/" to the beginning:

Another way to avoid the nesting is to reset to the default first:
