Same. I'm on Monterray, with InDesign 2022. I cannot open any file from a folder. And if I open from InDesign, it spins and becomes unresponsive.

Are the files stored locally? If they're in a cloud storage folder make sure that there's no smart sync features turned on.

Recommended minimum RAM is 16GB. Make sure you're not running anything besides InDesign.

The files are on a internal server for our company. No cloud-based syncing.

How do I make sure there is no smart sync features turned on?

Depends on the service you're using. For Dropbox:

Why has this got anything to do with Dropbox?

I have the same problem. I can’t open InDesign (2021 or 2022) or Illustrator (2021).
When I open the programs, the fan of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015, Big Sur) goes crazy.
Photoshop 2021 works fine.

Do you use a font manager?
I use Rightfont and had to disable Auto Activation for InDesign due to spinning wheel.

I use Font book. It's Preferences dont give me an option to disable Auto Activation...

The bottom line is that we use InDesign for work. I personally do not have time to trouble shoot this app every time Adobe makes a tweak which feels like every other day. I have been using Adobe products for two decades and have always loved them until recently.
I have not been able to open InDesign since I downloaded the newest version. I have no other older versions to work from because Adobe has taken away that option.
I can't even get to the InDesign preferences because all I get is a spinning wheel (unless there is a trick I'm missing).

No InDesign version. No O/S version. No system specs. We can't even guess what to advise unless you provide that information.

 Understood. Specs above...I cannot upgrade my operating system.
