hi, thanks for that update, I have this problem in InDesign. How can I get my files to change to file locally on mac, rather than on the adobe cloud. I can't seem to find it all in Indesign. Each adobe has its own file handling and Indesign I can't change to local

Correct answer Willi Adelberger

1. this is 17.3

2. it isn't a different cloud? what cloud is it? I don't use any other for these sort of documents? just want to be able to save on my local mac desktop or wherever on mac I want to place?

I can't do another navigation spot, that is why I am asking. I have this installed on my desktop without an issue.

You use iCloud Drive, a service provided from Apple. That is not an Adobe issue.

this is definitely from Indesign. See screenshot. It will only let me save to cloud. I don't want this at all. Want to save locally to my desktop (mac).

InDesign doesn’t have a cloud format or an option to save directly to the Adobe cloud server—those options are limited to Photoshop and Illustrator.

In my opinion, this is the correct answer for the question as it was asked by the OP.

Hi @zoe2022

Since your question is about InDesign, I have moved this from the Photoshop forum where you posted to InDesign where you will get better assistance.

Moved from:

I think it is still a Photoshop question:

InDesign has at the moment not a cloud saving format yet.
InDesgin does not have a version 23 or higher.

It would be good to move it back to Photoshop and require some corrections from the author.

I respectfully disagree that it is a Photoshop question, but we can wait for @zoe2022 to chime in. I branched this from a post on the PS forum with 119 replies. The title comes from the original post that she replied to and was not typed in by Zoe.

Hopefully she will clarify her issue. Please read her post where she asks about InDesign:

"I have this problem in InDesign. How can I get my files to change to file locally on mac, rather than on the adobe cloud. I can't seem to find it all in Indesign"

Photoshop recently added a checkbox in Preferences to default to either the hard drive or the cloud. Her first sentence where she says "thanks for that update" refers to that change.

The link to the entire thread is in my earlier reply. The "P: " tag is for "Primary" and is something Adobe staff adds when they start merging threads with the same issue.
