Disable cloud storage

[stephanies5214927]

I apologize if I have missed it in the community posts - I have read a lot of them, but I do not show the option to disable cloud storage in Photoshop 25.2.0.  I really want to disable the cloud storage.  Is there something I can do to shut it off? 

Thanks so much!

@stephanies5214927 are you in a managed environment like Enterprise, Teams or Education? If you are - this may be controlled by your Admin. If not, please confirm that you do not see "Default File Location" under File Handling preferences:

Hi Kevin, I am not in a managed environment.  I double-checked and do not see the Default File Location

Thank you so much!

@stephanies5214927 try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to backup your settings before doing the preference reset

Hi Ged,  Thanks so much for the suggestion.  I am nervous to try this - I am not a very technical person.  If I back up and reset my preferences will that make the option available to see the default file location?

@stephanies5214927 I've come across a couple of threads with the same issue as you and resetting the preferences helped in them cases
