If I have an .indd project file inside a OneDrive folder on my desktop (I like to work on the cloud to avoid any loss of data), after a few saves the .indd file gets corrupted. What is this mess? why won’t Adobe update such a simple feature and make it work with Cloud apps? This is 2026 ladies and gentlemen.

In addition to what Bob has already said:

Here’s the thread with instructions on what Windows updates you need to uninstall and/or install:

Full version of InDesign and (I’m assuming) Windows, please. There were some recent Windows updates that caused these kinds of issues and an optional update that fixed it.

BTW, I always work in OneDrive and Dropbox folders. More people should, but make sure you have your files set to be available off-line.
