Photoshop 24.0 default file location to local computer option

Hi, I'm trying to find the "Default File Location" in the options that enable save without ever seeing this annoying cloud save popup on Photoshop, but after updating to 24.0 I cannot find and change it to be able to save only locally without having to click "On your computer" button each time I want to save.

It's super annoying. I've checked other tabs but cannot find it. Is it named something different this time?

PS Version: 24.0.0, Windows 10

Thanks for help

    The issue is (and I don't know why) you don't see this:

    If you select "Enable Legacy "Save As" do you see the option above?

      Hi, after updating Photoshop and restarting the computer the option shows up. Really don't know what happened. I'm really glad that this option is still there. 

      Still. If Adobe wouldn't force its cloud on us there wouldn't be multiple topics on forums.

        I have updated, rebooted my PC and reopened Photoshop and it still isn't there. Incredibly frustrating! Takes an extra step to save. Hate it!!

        Try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences on quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

        My computer defaults to whichever location was last opened.

        If was a file opened from an external drive, it defaults to that when I save.  If it was opened from a folder on my primary HD, it defaults to that location.  And so on...

        Hi! Can you elaborate on what you mean by having the last opened location? Do you have a popup like this or it goes straight to save as window?

        That's showing Cloud Documents.  I typically save and open work files from local computer HD so they can be backed up nightly by my file backup/recovery service.
