The game has an insanely high number of saves it keeps by default, 20 for both auto saves and quick saves. I reduced it to 10 for both as I never need to go that far back (or if I want the option I just make a manual save), that alone will cut your Steam Cloud size in half.
EDIT - The number is actually 25, even higher than I remembered.
Uh oh, I cranked that number way up because I thought it would be convenient... Am I going to be in trouble soon?
You can change it at any point, but if you don't care about your saves getting into the 10+GB in size then leave it.
Are we talking individually or cumulatively?
All of them combined, my total never went above 3GB with them limited to 10 each. The save files did get smaller in later game as inaccessible areas from previous acts get purged.
Ok, that seems manageable enough.
