Hi, I'm relatively new to InDesign. I have a product licence (admin privileges) and am now trying to upload a file a previous employee created, so that I can update it for 2023. I have the file on my Google Drive and via email but I can't upload and open it from inside ID. Can anyone help me please?

There's no "upload" required. Save the file to your hard drive. Then, in InDesign, choose File > Open, navigate to the location where it was saved, select it, and click the Open button.

Thank you very much. I tried all the obvious things but I think the problem
was in the employee set up. I seem to be able to open the file from inside
ID now, from its location on my hard drive. Thanks to everyone who tried to
help me, much appreciated.

Hi, @Kimberly27993370cfs3 ,

why not copying that file from Google Drive to your local hard drive and open it in InDesign?

 

and via email but I can't upload and open it from inside ID

What does this mean? Upload to where? What email?

 

Regards

Stephan
