title: Saving a PFFile into cloud - where did it go?
body: <p>According the the Files section of the Parse documentation, to save a <code>PFFile</code>, we should follow these steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create the <code>PFFile</code></li>
  <li>Save the <code>PFFile</code> to the cloud</li>
  <li>After saving completes, associate the <code>PFFile</code> with a <code>PFObject</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have troubles visualizing step #2. Here's the example code they provided, which I tried to run myself:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//1. Creating the PFFile
  let str = "Working with Parse is great!"
  let data = str.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
  let file = PFFile(name: "resume.txt", data: data)
  
  //2. Saving the PFFile
  file.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { succeeded, error in
      if error != nil {
          println(error)
      }
      if succeeded {
          println("succeeded saving PFFile to cloud")
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I ran the code, the file succeeded in saving. But upon checking in my Parse app database, I see nothing that indicates the object is saved.</p>
  
  <p>What is the point of step #2?</p>
