I've only ever seen Ubi claim that save game files will be saved. Not anything else.
Does it make sense for mods to be stored on Ubi servers? You're buying a disc with the game. You load the game on your computer. You load mods on your computer. You start the game, and it downloads the save file you had created earlier. When you save, it writes the save game file to your computer, and uploads that save game file to the Ubi server.
To run the game, the program will make a call to the server, ask "Hey, is this guy authorized to run the game?" The server will say "Sure, go ahead." Every so often, the game will call up the server, and the server will respond.
Now, if you were downloading the game and then saving the entire game back to the server when done, I can see how that would be a problem for modding.
Besides that, the storage space that Ubi will need for save games is a lot lower than the storage space they would need if they saved everyone's copy of the game on their servers.
