It was not working for me either. I have saved to cloud and that works, but I can not save as PDF or .ai.
I Exported and saved as PSD and then used photoshop to save the file, THAT WORKED.
I hope this helps someone while they figure out this issue. I have only had illustrator for a shot time and can't believe I can't save my work....
I read these comments, the following DO NOT work for me:
i)Open preference by pressing “Cmd+K”

uncheck “Save in background”
