Shared Project Limitations

You can re-upload a project to the same cloud that you imported it from. For example, a user shares a project on a cloud account A. You can import this project (assuming you have the necessary permissions) and make changes to the project, and then upload it back to the same cloud account A. But you cannot share this project on any other cloud account even if you have access to multiple accounts (like cloud account B, C and D).

Hence, it is always advisable that an admin create a cloud account specific to a project and invite all the stakeholders of the project to this account. This ensures that the project is available for all to share and modify.
