First of all, if you don't know the answer, then don't reply. The comment about don't share files is pretty childish. Anyway.

1) sign into outlook as an admin

click "File" in the banner

navigate to options ( lower left)

click on Add-INs near bottom of the screen on the let)

Yeah i'm having d same issue. All d pdfs are by default uploaded to clouds and replaced by a link. Even after going to peferences and remove the "link" settings, it will pop up another window of sending this to storage.

How do you figure that Adobe is uploading your files even if you don't share them? I can find no evidence of this.

You can see which files are uploaded here: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/home/

Don't share the file.

That's not good enough. There are many situations where it's not allowed to upload files to a cloud in the first place, and Acrobat should not be doing it silently without the user's express consent. I believe it can be disabled under the Preferences, but it's still not OK.
