I am not able to save to my FileServers ​​​​​​after updating to InDesign 21.5.1.

I am boring on an iMac with OS 26.6.2. When I try save the file locally it’s OK.
On the server a file is placed but it’s empty 0Kb.
I have tried on different servers with the same problem.

    Can you describe more details about your File Server? Is it a cloud-based service?

    What version did you update from? If you revert back to that version, does the problem go away: Creative Cloud app > InDesign > 3-dot menu > Other Versions?

    Have you checked all permissions? Can you save on your local harddrive?

    I can save as IDML on the servers.
