We've known that we can disable Adobe Document Cloud functions by registry setting.

Is there any function that a plug-in can use to disable the related functions of Adobe Document Cloud?

Because the registry must be set before Acrobat launches.We want to control those functions during Acrobat is running.

Hi EH,

Sorry for the delay in response.  

As per the issue description mentioned above, you want to disable Document Cloud functions in Acrobat, is that correct?

You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC on Acrobat to disable cloud services.

I believe that this cloud storage function can be a privacy issue for government, coroprate, and personal financial and health information.

 

The user must be able to disable all cloud storage if they need to.

 

Therefore, file a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission:

I'm sick and tired of these tech companies forcing me to use their cloud for storage. They mine my data and sell it. And it makes my data more of a security risk.  Report Adobe, Amazon, Google, Microsoft ... any company that forces (or defaults) me to store my files in their cloud.

 

It's our choice if and when we want to save a file to any cloud.

 

Just say NO to their nasty clouds.

How is a regular guy supposed to use this wizard? I just want an option in DC to turn this OFF. I've made changes to a starred file and discovered that my changes are not reflected in the document on my computer, only in the cloud version, so now I have a more complicated life to use a "FREE" version of Acrobat Reader. I don't want your cloud. I want my own files on my own machine and I don't want to mess around with registry keys to fix this.
