Savefile swapping.

Before I bought my own copy I played on another account and I was wondering what I need to do to be able to access that character on MY steam/GD account.

Both are steam versions, for now anyway.

Can I just make a copy of a save file off of that PC and when I want to play that toon, just swap in that save file?

Do I have to turn off steamcloud saving first?

Is there any way to get that particular toon added to the save file/character list in game?

OK so I guess I kinda have an idea how to do it. Still a couple of questions though.

So I do the turn steamcloud off and copy to local save thing. Now I have 3 users worth of information.

What happens if i just take the character named file from the other account and add it to my file with the characters in it?

I’m guessing I keep my private stash info and all other character info but when I log in on that guy the shared stash will be different. Is it that easy?
