When I try to export a project as STL it doesn't work.

I recently downloaded Fusion 360 free hobbyist edition to make some 3D printed brackets for myself. When I get the bracket designed as I like it, i try to export and it says "This file type requires cloud translation, but the design has not been saved to the cloud. Please save the design and try again or chose another file type.". So I go to save the file and i hit "Save" in the dropdown and then give it a name, but i cannot change the location it only lets me save to "admin project". I hit save and then i get a error in the top right saying "Bracket.f3d could not be uploaded due to access denied. this occures when you have lost access to the project of references. please contact the project moderator for assistance.". 

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have gone to the app data folder and deleted everything in there then restarted my pc and F360. nothing I have seen works. Please help. 

 

Thank you!

Normally you do not have to use Export to get an STL file.  You open your model, right click on the body you want the STL for, and choose Save as STL from the context menu.
