Stack export is just copying the JSON to the local directory. Is there another feature you'd like added?

No, I just want to avoid having to download the stack files in the first place, because my connection can be really spotty at times and it does add up, specially with big stacks

You can use a local stack file, but that does limit you to running Pulumi from your machine. There is no way to copy the stack to the local machine automatically.

If you want to reduce the risk of your local connection being the problem, then you might consider running from a remote machine instead of your local machine.

Thanks anyway, it's not that big of a deal

I just wondered if maybe some debug option allowed the stack to keep a copy locally before uploading to the Pulumi Cloud
