Opening legacy Allegro/OrCAD files in the cloud-based platform

Hello,

I recently started a position at an academic institution, taking over for another designer. They used Allegro to do some PCB designs which I need to manipulate. I got access to Allegro (OrCAD?) using an academic single-user license, but find that it is a cloud-based platform, whereas the original files were created on a PC-based platform. I don't appear to be able to import the legacy files into the cloud-based environment - the cloud-based file manager does not see most of my file system (I don't understand the reason for this). Is it possible to open "legacy" project files on the cloud-based system? How is this done?
