Does InDesign CC have a scratch disk?
I have searched all over and can’t find this answer.
I know Photoshop and Illustrators does, but I don’t see one for InDesign.

Not one that's settable--it will use the startup disk if it needs temp disk space.

    Here's what I wonder.  I have 5tb of disk space available, and 64gb of ram.  Every 20 minutes or so, I'll get a MacOS error message because InDesign is taking too much memory, but the error kicks in at around 400gb.  If it topped out around 60gb, that'd make sense, because it's relying on system memory.  But at 400gb, it has to be using SSD space, and if that's the case, why error out at 400?  There's easily 4tb more available, why not take the space needed in excess of 400gb, or realize there's an issue sooner?

    If it's a system warning / error - how InDesign is responsible?
