Open from Creative cloud?

So in a an attempt for adobe to shove the cloud storage down our throats, The "open" command in Photoshop is defaulting to "Open from Creative Cloud” creating an extra step of finding the "on your Computer" button to simply open files.

There was a way to kill this nonsense when saving a file, but I don’t see it with the open dialogue. Any way to remove this garbage and just have a normal open option?

    Try the following Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location dropdown menu option, I'm presuming that you are using an up to date 2022 version:

     

     

    It appears that you have to click the "On your computer" button once after enabling the setting, then it is sticky.

    Despite how prefs are set, one can use a script to force a local open window (which does not offer all of the standard features of the default open window). A custom keyboard shortcut can then be applied to an installed script.

     

    try {
    selectFile = File.openDialog("Please select the file or files:", Multiselect = true);
    for (var i = 0; i < selectFile.length; i++) {
        var openFiles = app.open(File(selectFile[i]));
    }
} catch (error) {}

      As preferences can become corrupt and or regularly reset to defaults for support/troubleshooting, I have created an action to reset preferences and other common settings. Before recording you need to set the control to be opposite of the intended result, then when you record the action it will correctly record the change to the required setting.
