@Pete5EF6 As an admin, you can create a managed package from the admin console and use the "Install package to custom install directory" option to set the required directory for the installation. We recommend installing the apps locally on the hard drive in any directory (not on Onedrive or the cloud): https://helpx.adobe.com/in/enterprise/using/create-nul-packages.html

thanks but I am talking about the default save location, not the default install location. when users sign in i want all their new documets to default to save as/adobe cloud. yes, i know users can set that themselves in preferences but that is not realistic in a school, everything needs to be set for the students right in the first place, everything needs to be the same.

As per my knowledge, this is a user-driven settings/option and could be set as by default while packaging or deploying the apps. It also depends on where the file is saved currently and/or if you are creating a duplicate copy. 

The behavior of Adobe products is the same that you get in any other apps like MS Word, Excel, etc., where you get the option to select the location where you want to save manually when you work on any files.

Thanks, we are really only interested in setting this for new documents. if you could advise how to set save to cloud as defualt when packaging or deploying the apps that would be great.

Word/Excel can managed through registry/group policy which Adobe doesnt have.

@Pete5EF6 Are you referring to any specific app like Acrobat, XD, etc?

[Pete5EF6]

students use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign mainly. I think InDesign cloud options are in beta but will catch up I am sure.

@Pete5EF6 Unfortunately, there is no option available during the packaging wherein you can set the default save location.
