Change default save location to computer in Photoshop

Moin moin,

seit neuestem fragt Photoshop mich jedesmal ob ich meine Daten in der Cloud speichern möchte,

möchte ich nicht, und ich möchte auch nicht jedesmal erneut gefragt werden. Kann man das deaktivieren, das Photoshop unbedingt in der Cloud speichern möchte?

Danke

Hi there,

 

 

Thanks for reaching out. We understand your concern and are here to help.

Try this and let us know if it helps. Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location > Set to 'On your computer' and restart Photoshop.

 

 

Thanks.

The default file location button option is no longer available @ Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling >

Yep, this feature is missing on version 25.7.0 for me. I've opened half a dozen RAW images, saved as .psd to a folder on my computer, and each and every time, it prompted me to save to cloud first. No option on that dialog box to default to saving locally, and no option in Settings > File Handling either! Very frustrating, Adobe! Very unecessary and annoying friction. Let. Us. Save. Locally. By. Default.

Try to reset preferences. It should be there, something's wrong if it isn't.

 

Corrupt preferences can cause odd and unexpected symptoms.

I have the same issue.   Photoshop 24.1.0,  Mac.   Looks the same as the screenshot that Christine provided - no  "Default File Location" option.
