Linking to Cloud Documents

When using InDesign, I can't link to files I create in Fresco. 

On the creative cloud there are two areas:

1. Synced files
2. Cloud Documents

 

InDesign cannot see the second "Cloud Documents". I can transfer the files over but it adds a few steps, which is really annoying given that they're side-by-side in the same place. I want to draw in Fresco and/or Photoshop then let InDesign just update the link. (Similar to when you just update a file in photoshop, Indesign just updates.)

 

Any advice here?

    InDesign requires all placed assets to be in your local network—the link address can’t be a URL.

     

    If you save your InDesign files and assets inside of your local Creative Cloud Files folder, the files will automatically sync into your Adobe web server’s Synced files directory, and also sync to the CFF folder on another computer associated with your CC account. You can the place the local versions of the sync’d files

     

    If you need to collabrate, you can invite other CC users to share any folder in your Creative Cloud Files folder, and in that case the files will also sync to those user’s CCF folders. 

     

    As others have noted the web server’s Cloud Documents folder is for Photoshop PSDC files, and would only be useful if you need to edit Photshop files on a mobile device.

      Could you make this more plain english or just show how one would place a PSD (.tif) file that is sitting in Creative Cloud into an actual INDD document? Because otherwise I have to agree here--this is so utterly unhelpful to have CC strongly suggest I store my files online but your own programs cannot access them.

      just show how one would place a PSD (.tif) file that is sitting in Creative Cloud into an actual INDD document?

       

      You would save the .tif to your local Creative Cloud Files folder, and place that file in your InDesign document. Any documents you save in the user>Creative Cloud Files folder are automatically copied to the cloud assuming you have Syncing turned on in your Creative Cloud app.

       

      Here I’ve placed the file Phi.tif in my GlassPhi.indd doc, both of which are in my Creative Cloud Files folder:

       

       

       

       

      If I right-click the SYNC EXAMPLE folder and choose View on Website, I can see that both the .indd and tiff file have been saved to my cloud account.

       

      My Creative Cloud Files folder is listed as a directory under Synced Files:

       

       

      The cloud copies of the ID and TIF files

      Like, cmon, Adobe, this is essential. Pls finally start with the basics, make them work and then you can continue developing multiple useless drawing apps and other bells and whistles. Like how many different clouds can one want – cloud documents, cc documents, libraries etc and none of them actually work.

        Essential? Seriously?

        Six months ago some of those formats didn't even exist.

          Well, it may not be essential, but atleast confusing!

           

          It's all about the matter of corrections. A client likes the illustration I made in Fresco, opened in PhotoShop to get it imported to InDesign (conversion .psdc to .psd and moving from Dcoument Cloud to something InDesign can import). But the client wants the illustration blue instead of red. So I have to get back to Fresco make the thing blue and do the whole conversion again to get it in InDesign. It's a lot of overhead, guys!

           

          And yes essential is probably a big word in this case, 30 years ago is was still working with Rotring pens on paper...

          The Cloud documents created by Photoshop desktop and iPad, and also Fresco are not currently useable in InDesign. They're in a new format (not PSD). They are PSDC files. They are specially optimized for moving the features of those applications between desktop and mobile apps efficiently. You would save them as PSD files to be placed into InDesign.

           

          It's very analagous to Camera Raw files. Camera Raw files also cannot be placed in InDesign without first saving them as PSD files.
