Please stop forcing us to save documents in the cloud when we create new files

Also, please stop requiring us to use 4-key shortcuts to simply save to our local computers. (CMD+ALT+SHIFT+S).

For an UX app, these are pretty significant UX failures.

Believe it or not, many of us have been using design software for decades, and we would like to work the way we have worked for years without having new ideologies forced upon us.

Please do not change the title of this thread.

Thank you.

I found a three-step fix on my system. Hope this works for everyone else.

STEP 1
In Preferences > General, select "Reset All Warning Dialogs", click OK and restart the program

STEP 2

After the reboot, go to Preferences > File Handling.

Next to Default File Location, drop down the box and select "On your computer" and click OK.

STEP 3

Restart again and the Cloud Storage 'nag' should be gone.

Hi, Rishabh,

Um. I don't think his complaint is about the keyboard shortcut. His complaint is that he has to manually bypass your attempt to force everyone to save files to your inferior cloud storage. We used to have the option to select once where we save by default. The latest version (24.7.0 20230719.r.643 efe3886 x64) took that option away again.

Kinda feels like Microsoft forcing Edge and Bing into everything they released for several years. We don't want your cloud service. We don't like your cloud service. We just want to save our work to our own computer, and feel we shouldn't have to tell you "no" every time we save a file.
