I was trying to convert personal old AI files to XD using my working account. The result is that my private data is being uploaded to the wrong place and there is no option to disable this. It's obvious an evil design from Adobe.

    Cloud documents have more features (such as realtime collaboration with others, changes are synced across computer, etc), which is why Adobe has chosen to make them the default. But you can still work locally and most things will work the same.

     

    • To save files locally choose File > Save As Local Document.
    • To open local files choose File > Open from Your Computer.

     

    This is not Adobe being evil, it's just a sign of the times. Some apps like Figma are 100% online and have no option for local files. Adobe offers both options.

     

    At some point it could be nice for Adobe to add a preference for the default behavior, but there are still many features that need to be added to XD that I'd rather see them do first.

    Hey @Dan Rodney Dan, I understand that you want to keep this possitive, but I'm talking about my privacy.

     

    Why my converted AI file is being sent automaticly without my consent to Adobe Cloud?  

    Why Adobe is assuming that everyone wants to keep the files in Adobe Cloud by Default?

    Why Adobe for multiple years refusing to provide a simple Save option to a local computer?
