How can I validate that Steam Cloud is up to date? - Closeup of blue and purple coloured light swirling transparent smoke on white background

I have previously played Elden Ring but found after a reinstall that some of my characters were lost, even though I am completely sure that before deleting the game for the reinstall, the cloud status showed 'Up to date'.

As this indicator is apparently not to be trusted, how can I verify that it is really up to date? For example, is there some way to download the files from the cloud so I can compare them to my local files?
