Why can't I set the 'type' of my Asset source? When I try to add an asset source under Admin &gt; Settings &gt; Assets, I can't see the type-field on the 'Create a new Asset source'-page. Why not?
The problem you are having is with your Craft edition... as in, which level of Craft did you pay for: Personal, Client, or Pro? If you didn't buy Craft Pro, then you can't save assets to a cloud service. And since you can't save to the cloud, all of your assets will be automatically saved to a Local Folder. The Type menu is only shown in Craft Pro.
