How to save [InDesign file] to adobe cloud after ticking "Don't Show Again" on Mac OS?

Hi, I saw there was something explaining how to do this on Windows OS a few years ago by clicking an option under the "Save as" menu, but I don't see the same option on mac OS, as seen here:

I'm not even sure if I clicked "don't show again" for sure or not, but it isn't giving me the usual menu to save my file as a cloud file now that I've first saved it on my laptop.

Not a Mac user, but probably the same settings here

Looks like your screenshot is from Adobe InDesign and not Photoshop.

As far as i know, saving cloud documents is only in the InDesign Beta:

Oh whoops, didn't realize I'd ended up in the photoshop section specifically. Wouldn't saving files be similar? If not, I'll find the other forum

I've moved your post to InDesign for you Camille.

Hi @Camille26453938wsmm , Currently InDesign doesn’t have a cloud format like Photshop’s .PSDC or Illustrator’s .AIC, so there’s no Save to cloud documents option in its Save dialog.

To Save an ID file to the cloud you have to use syncing—files saved into your User>Creative Cloud Files folder will automatically upload to your cloud account when you have an internet connection and file syncing is turned on. In your web account sync’d files are found in the Your Files>Synced files directory.

Hi @rob day thank you so much for adding an update, I have been struggling for the last few months trying to solve this problem. I still don't have the User option, but do you know why or if there will be an option to save InDesign files to Creative Cloud? It would be incredibly helpful!

It would be incredibly helpful!

I think the latest Beta trial has a cloud format option, but why do you need it? What do expect a deticating cloud format will do that is different than simply using your Creative Cloud Files folder for syncing in the current version?

My issue at the moment is all of my InDesign files are saving locally to my laptop and taking up huge amounts of space. I've not been able to sync them to any cloud option which is why I was looking to have the stored in the Creative Cloud. Would the Creative Cloud files folder act the same way to clear some space?

USB drives are running around $20 per Terabyte. A regular CC subscription only includes 100MB, so you’ll be better off investing in an external drive and archive some work. Also, you really shouldn’t save to the cloud without a backup. For example something like this could happen:
