Shortcuts to folders when saving PDFs in Acrobat DC

[RJL__]

When I save a PDF file that I have opened (obtained, e.g., from the web or as a file attachment), I see a screen that gives me a choice of saving in a recent folder or clicking My Computer, Document Cloud, or Add an Account (in the left side menu), or in the bottom right, Choose a Different Folder...

Is there a way to add some default folders in the left hand menu, similar to the Quick Access folders in the File Explorer in Windows.

Most people you meet here in the Adobe forums are users of Adobe's technology, just like you. We are not getting paid for what we do here, so if we don't know the answer (or, when we sleep when you post your question), you will not get a reply. In this case, the answer is "no" - you cannot do that. What you can do however is to disable the "show online storage" options in Acrobat's preferences, and then use the operating system's file selection dialog (for which you can configure favorites, or whatever your operating system calls this feature).

This is helpful.  Thank you.  I didn't realize that the Forum relied entirely on user contributions.  I thought that Adobe might provide occasional help when there is no response (much as Microsoft does in its fora).

That happens occasionally, but not on a regular basis. Employees have a "Staff" badge, so you can tell when an Adobe employee replies.

How does disabling "show online storage" help?  Also, what I see in the left hand menu is My Computer (I'm using Windows 10).  When you suggest that I then use the operating system's file selection dialog, do you mean I would click on My Computer to reach whatever shortcuts/favorites I've managed to confugure?

The dialog you see if Adobe's own file selection dialog, which includes the online storage features. When you deselect the two "Show online storage..." options, Acrobat will use the operating system's file selection dialog. On the Mac, you can add "Favorites" to that dialog, and on Windows you can use the "Quick access" feature. You will also get to the OS' dialog when you click on the "My Computer" item, and then select "Browse" when you open a file, or the "Choose a different folder" item when you try to save a file.
