Export gif from mathematica online not possible

Dear community
I am using the mathematica online cloud and would like to export a gif or later a .obj file from the graphics3d I made. The notebook tells me, that the file has been exported. But I don’t know where the file is.

If I check the path with $path then it says: „

{/wolframcloud/userfiles/WolframApplications,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/SystemFiles/Links,/wolframcloud/u?serfiles/c2e/c2eacc65-428c-419d-9183-7e5dddc21706/Base/Kernel,/wolframcloud/userfiles/c2e/c2eacc65-428c-419d-9183-7e5dddc21706/Base/?Autoload,/wolframcloud/userfiles/c2e/c2eacc65-428c-419d-9183-7e5dddc21706/Base/Applications,/usr/share/Mathematica/Kernel,/usr/sh?are/Mathematica/Autoload,/usr/share/Mathematica/Applications,.,/wolframcloud/userfiles/c2e/c2eacc65-428c-419d-9183-7e5dddc21706,/?usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/SystemFiles/Autoload,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/AddOns/Aut?oload,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/AddOns/Applications,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/Add?Ons/Packages,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/AddOns/ExtraPackages,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5?157632-1/SystemFiles/Kernel/Packages,/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0.1-5157632-1/Documentation/English/System}

It seems, that it exports somewhere on the server.
Using „setdirectory“ did also not work.

Maybe it is not possible from the mathematica cloud version ( I am a basic/free user)?
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you very much!

I’m not sure about basic/free user features. Assuming the Export evaluation worked, the gif should be in your home directory ($HomeDirectory, or Directory[]). You can look for the file using the tabs on the right side of the screen (Home button, scroll to find the file), or by evaluating FileNames[] in your notebook and scanning the results.
