So the newer versions have some useful debugging info. Can you get -74
(which has a few bug fixes) and run it from a console (cmd.exe is fine) as
subsurface.exe -v -v
That should give us more info what it's trying to do with the cloud
storage and where things might fail.

My guess is that it couldn't connet and only stored things locally.
And depending on the CAs installed on your system and how some SSL
settings are done it's possible that it simply didn't like the certificate
of my server...
