GameMaker Am I missing something or is it impossible to retrieve a non-text file from Steam Cloud

I was hoping to store an image file on Steam Cloud and retrieve it, but the only function for retrieving files from Steam Cloud that I see is steam_file_read() which reads the file as a string.

I am able to upload image files to Steam Cloud using steam_file_write_file() (The documentation for this function even gives an example of uploading an image file), but I don't see a way to get it back as an image file.

Am I missing something?
 
Hi. I know this was quite a while ago but I'm facing the same dilemma. I'm saving a screen grab with my save game files and I can upload the image but I cannot work out how to get it back from steam. When I attempt to use steam_file_read and write out the string returned the files is just 9 bytes and invalid.

Did you manage to work out out at all?
