So, i booted up scratch and the first thing i did was to make a project. BUT! during the creation i made my account. Idk what is happening but no matter what the project cannot save no matter how many times i try. It only allows me to STC (save to computer) and apart from that i cant save the project. need help in this!
P.S. Thx to all who help!

Explanation
Scratch wont save a project if it's above 50 MB in size or the assets are over 10 MB in size. I think you are seeing this:
If you are, there is a chance that your project is too large.

How can i check if my project is too large?
Here are a few steps to check if your project is too large.

Step 1: Save the project to your computer, press File in the editor and you will see the option.
Step 2: If you saved it, go to the File Explorer (assuming you are using Windows as operating system, that the majority of people have.)
Step 3: Go to Downloads and find the newest .sb3 file.
Step 4: Right click it and go to properties.
Step 5: Here you see see the file size. If it's above 50 MB, 50,000 kB or 50,000,000 bytes, your projects is too large. Make the project smaller so it will save.

This took long to make so i hope i helped you.

Do note that 50MB is an old limit, and projects can be over 50MB if the project JSON is less than 5MB, and a project JSON over 5MB will not allow saving. This topic has more information.

you using audios (most likely a dozen that are 3 minutes long or so or a few large ones)? they can't be over 10 mb alone or 50 in total (that's why i struggle with some of my projects, just cut them down)

this problem is recent.
everything else is fine, but if you move, add, or delete ANYTHING from a costume, scratch somehow won't let you save your projects. deleting the costume solves the problem, but you have one less costume to work with. you can not make any new custom costume, as it prohibits you to save your project.

For the past 2 days I can't upload a project from my computer and then save it, I also can't add images or characters from my computer, please help me.

i was making this game i spent hours on then i went to save and this thing pops up saying project could not save try again or download so i click try again and it just pops up again so i download it, now i cant put it back in scratch because when i do it just does the same thing.
if you know whats going and can help me please do.
