Auto-save on file close: HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF

[araygfx]

Extremely frustrating new 'feature' auto-saves my files when I close them, without asking if I want to save. I cannot find an option in preferences to turn this off.

To reproduce, save a file to the adobe cloud then make a series of destructive changes and close the file window with the X icon.

To me, the cloud storage 20GB actually no different with 1TB, because it is useless if the auto-save cannot be turned off. It assumes that every step we did is finalized and no way for us to revert back. Obviously most users don't like the forced auto-save feature, and I can't see any difficulty if Adobe want to make it as an option so that user can choose to enable or disable it. Maybe it's one of the way Adobe control the overall cloud storage usage.

This was one of the most bone-headed decision by Adobe and the QOL went a step backwards with this "feature," especially now that we all have to pay a monthly subscription

SO just save locally. Problem solved.

FWIW, Apple has (configurable) auto-save as well, with built-in versioning and revert features. And pretty much all iOS apps work this way, they don't require manual save, and that seems to be working just fine. I believe Android is the same. Billions of cell phones.

Indeed. I admit I'm not a heavy user of cloud services anywhere - but those that I do use, they all work this way. The whole Microsft Office environment works this way, just to name one more example.

The point is that this is the convention for cloud saving. It's what I expect.
