DF does not currently support Steam Cloud saves. There are a few discussions on the Bay12 and Steam forums about it.

Could you copy that text you're referring to and paste it here? I don't know that language, and I also can't type in it, so I'm having a hard time translating it to English.

Google translates it to:
> CLOUD SAVINGS
> Steam Cloud stores your product data so it matches up on any PC.
> Enable save sync with Steam Cloud for Dwarf Fortress
> Used: 0 bytes / Available: 953.67 MB
Which is nearly what the option says in my Steam in English:
> Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Dwarf Fortress

This game has savefiles that can get pretty large and Steam might get prissy about the amount of storage space that would end up getting used I'm guessing.
Use a cloudservice and upload your saves and do the work manually, like in the olden days.
I have a few diskettes laying around here..
