Updated Claude storage/memory map: what's local, what's cloud, and what changes Oct 6

Anthropic has updated Claude's storage and memory map, with significant changes coming on October 6th. After this date, all new sessions in the Claude app on Pro/Max will be cloud-only, eliminating the local option. Existing locally started tasks will remain local, and Claude Code will continue to offer a local option. Team and Enterprise administrators will still control storage location, with no specific date for changes yet.

This report uniquely compiles 21 Anthropic help articles, documentation pages, and release notes into a single visualization, unlike other summaries.
