In Photoshop 26.3, when you work on a file, it automatically saves the file to the cloud. This setting is undesirable. Apparently it cannot be turned off. Yes at the end of the job I can save my work locally, but how do I prevent the continuous saving to the cloud. There are many photos and content for which it is inappropriate for it to leave my computer. This feature should be strictly optional. For the first time in 20 years of use I am thinking of leaving Adobe Photoshop. Or if I'm wrong and would really like. Tell me how to turn off the continuous cloud storage feature.

Yes, it can be changed. Go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location > Choose "On your computer", then restart Photoshop.

Of course I have this set, but if you have creattive cloud turned on, even though you save files to your computer by default, they are synchronized with the cloud as you work. The only option is to have the creative cloud app turned off, but the option to have the app turned on and prevent continuous saving to the cloud is not

Please show a screenshot of the File Handling tab in the Preferences dialog.

I save to my computer and nothing is duplicated in the Cloud.
