Exporting files location -

Community Beginner ,
Sep 19, 2025 Sep 19, 2025

Our company uses Dropbox for all file storage and collaboration. Each project is saved in its own structured Dropbox folder. When exporting assets, we want to ensure they stay within the correct project folder — but currently, Adobe apps (like XD, Illustrator, etc.) default to the last-used export folder, which often results in assets being exported to the wrong location, overwritten files, broken file links, etc.

This affects efficiency and increases the chance of user error, especially in team environments.

It would be great if files exported by default to the intended folder, or if a preference was allowed (either globally or per app)

Thank you!

Computers work pretty much as they way they always have. The operating system saves files to the last saved disk drive & directory by default. Every computer user should know that.

 

To guard against data loss, I save files locally many, many times before completion. When I'm done, it's a simple matter of moving saved files from my local project folder to a mirrored repository on DropBox or other service. If that's more than your staff can handle, consult with your IT dept.
