Adobe XD saving options are changed after XD 29.

Five years on and Adobe still ignores the wishes of the people who pay its wages. STOP wasting developers' time on unrequested and frequently unpopular "enhancements" and wake up to the fact that your ascendancy as the creative industry standard is diminishing rapidly. If I want to save to your cloud, I will. Stop trying to bend us to your will before your diminishing market share turns into a landslide.

I want this changed too.  I'm paying $1000 a year to use this software and have for YEARS.  I DO NOT want my company's proprietary files saved on some cloud somewhere that I have zero control over.    It took me forever to figure out where my files were.  You took a common setting, used world-wide on all sorts of software, and usurped it to steal my files from me without my knowlege. What's next CTRL +C now grants you access to the folders on my computer for you to sift through as you please?

I pay damn good money for the right to use your software.  I don't pay you to save copies of my work on your server. Change this default setting or I will finally quit procratinating and will another solution for every piece of software I use from Adobe. 

Can we make it where "Save as" opens a dialogue to save locally by default, but also includes an option to save to cloud? Or would that be too much work to implement at this point?

With you 100%
Another strange but related issue, is that if I'm working from a local file (as in, I've double clicked a local file to open it, worked on it for a few hours and saved it) it still tries to save it to the cloud. I've closed a document thinking its saved locally (as you'd expect, given this workflow), only to find its not saved anything. What's more, in this example I couldn't even find the file saved in my adobe cloud documents. All that work was lost. 

I want the default to save to local simply because every time I save I get an agressive email from my companies security department asking why I am using an unapproved 3rd party cloud service to store company files. Either you talk to security for me or make local save the default please.

Adobe - any UPDATE on this? Why do you constantly try to "fix" things that are not broken?

It's 2021, people do not want to keep their work on your cloud service by default for millions of reasons, and you know that. Give us an option to set the default behavior for saving and for creating new files. I do not want to make a new cloud file every time a create a new document, just to be forced to save it locally... every-single-time.

Every software on the planet uses ctrl+shift+s for "save a new local file". This is the logical and default behavior for a reason.

Guys, just stop breaking your software, for the sake of all of us.

We've chosen to forego Adobe Cloud storage for documents for several reasons:

1. It's faulty. We have opened cloud storage documents and found saved versions, or completed and saved work within the same version, not there.

2. Cloud storage has resulted in wonky behavior - eg, Undo (Cmd-Z on Mac) often does not - undo, that is. Perform an action, and the Undo command in the menu is greyed out. No way to undo. On a locally stored document, this behavior disappears.

To make matters worse, we've had Adobe Cloud just jump in and grab locally stored documents and whisk them up to the cloud, in spite of never choosing this option. For example, we'll be working on Project-01.xd, stored on the hard drive. In order to archive that version, we'll do a Save as... and create a new version, Project-02.xd. The next day, go to find version -02.xd - it's not there. Adobe Cloud has defaulted to whisking the files up to the cloud, without our making that choice.

Adobe produces great products, but the UX/UI of these products isn't on a part. And this particular issue is really bad UX behavior.

Reminds me of Adobe choosing in Photoshop to reverse the Shift-drag component to resize an object and maintain proportionality - yet retaining the reverse behavior on the rest of the Adobe Creative suite. Someone needs to circulate a memo, I think... 

There should definitely be an option to turn cloud sharing off/on in preferences as many freelancers have no need for cloud sharing at all. We just work locally all the time. Thanks.

Why the hell is XD now auto matically saving files i open to the cloud? I just had to force quite this ugy poc becuase I opened a larger Sketch file and before I had a chance to do anything the app froze up as i was auto saving this file to the cloud! stop it! I dont want my fils to automatically be saved to the cloud, i dont want to save to your crappy, slow bugy cloud at al! its bad enough you cnahged the fedault save as shortcut to save to the cloud, this counter intuitive and no one wants to use your pathetic, slow cloud storage & now to add insult to injury you force a save as soon as i open a file? WTF? how do i stop XD automatically saving a copy of a file open to your cloud? 

First of all, love XD.

But the fact that my files are being saved on the cloud automatically without an option to change the default save method is pretty stupid. Anytime I have to save a new file, I have to select "Save file as local Document". How can you make such an awesome software right off the bat only then to make this insanly unncessary update? lol 

Clearly it's either a poor attempt to increase the usage of Adobe cloud stroage or just a gross oversight on the fact that a big % of XD users have different methods to store and share files such as Google Drive or Dropbox.

Fix this please?
