Cannot save to Document Cloud after clicking “Do Not Show Again” on the prompt window last time

Hi everyone, first time posting.

 

I have an issue with saving to Document Cloud from InDesign. I used to only save to my computer, so when it prompted to select either save to Document Cloud or save locally on the computer, I clicked "do not show again" and selected Save to My Computer.

 

As I'm starting to use Document Cloud now, I would like to save files directly to it from Adobe Apps. I looked everywhere in the InDesign app, trying to figure out how to bring up that message box again, or to opt into saving to Document Cloud, but I couldn't find anything.

 

In addition in the homepage of InDesign, where there is a list of recent files, there is supposed to be a cloud files section, but that isn't there either.

 

Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi @Theo Aud , Unlike Photoshop and Illustrator, which have the special cloud file formats (.psdc and .aic) InDesign does not have a cloud format—the choice to save locally or to the cloud is only available in PS and AI. AcrobatPro lets you save PDFs to your cloud account’s Document Cloud directory.

 

You can save files into your local Creative Cloud Files folder and they will automatically sync and upload to your cloud account when you have file syncing turned on in your Creative Cloud app. More here:

    Hi Rob, thank you very much for the reply. So, if I save to the Creative Cloud Files folder, is it best practice to copy the file locally every time I want to work on it, then reupload it after the edit, or is it okay to just open from the Creative Cloud Files folder and edit it from there?

    No, just leave the files you want copied/synced/backed up to the cloud server in the local Creative Cloud Files folder. Any corrections you make to any files in the CCF folder will be automatically sync’d to the cloud—there’s no need to upload or download.

    In the General section of the Preferences is the button Reset All Warning Dialogs.

    Hi Michael, thank you for the reply! However I just tried your method and it did not seem to solve the issue, the save options message box still would not reappear. But I do appreciate the help nevertheless!
