OTF font problem between sharing InDesign files

Hi All,

My boss and I both work in Adobe Creative cloud and are constantly sharing, opening and closing the same InDesign files back and forth. We both have the same font book, google fonts, and adobe fonts activated. With that said, we have the same Poppins font. For some reason, if I create an InDesign file with Poppins, whenever he opens it a dialogue box shows up for missing font. And the mission font says its Poppins OTF, and so he changes the font back to 'his' Poppins and saves and closes. And if I open it again I get the same dialogue box, with the missing Poppins OTF. Its really frustrating having to change the fonts back every time so there are no errors showing.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix?

This is what always pops up, and if i were to chage the fonts, when my boss opens it again this same box will show up

It looks that one have the Adobe font version activated and the other one the Google version.

Neither of us have it from google, they are both from Adobe

Can you, each of you, open the same file using Poppins Font, go to the Text menu > Find font and select the Poppins font in the list. Then make a screenshot, like mine. Be sure that the information panel is visible.
