Photoshop missing "Default File Location" setting in preferences?

[2mittsphotog]

Running photoshop 24.01 on windows and trying to overcome the ever irritating "save to cloud" options. Everyone is saying to go to  Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location and change that to local. The drop down that i'm seeing in posted images does not exist for me. Did i find a bug or did they move this? I'm about to lose my mind here.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. 

What do you see currently? Can you share a screenshot with us? 

This is the general workflow: Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location > Set to 'On your computer and restart Photoshop. We still get this option on version 24.0.1

You can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences. Please back up your settings prior to resetting the preferences.

You can check https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Just went to make a screen shot and suddenly that option is available! Trust me when I say it was not there for most of the day . . . I didn't update or touch anything so i'm totally bafffled and frankly a bit irritated i spent the time searching for a solution and going as far as posting here! I even searched for that option in preferences earlier and it didn't show up . .  . now magically it is. I guess this is a disregard, but if this happens again i'll report back.

Glad to hear that. Feel free to reach out whenever needed.

Hi @Exter Marketing 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Would you mind checking if there's any update for Photoshop? Check here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/uptodate.html#:~:text=How%20do%20I%20check%20for,See%20Update%2....
Let us know if it's up to date or not. Let us know how it goes.

That option was not available in the version of Photoshop in your screenshot, the most recent versions have a Share button where the arrow points, it would help if you posted your Photoshop system info, in Photoshop go to Help > System Info, hit the copy button and paste the entire thing into this thread

@Exter Marketing looks like you're using a non genuine/pirated version of Photoshop.

Your system info shows.

License Type: Unknown
Serial number:

[filand85185955]

I don't have that option as well and Photoshop is updated (screesnhots below). My Photoshop version is 24.1.0 20221206.r.166 be4691b x64 and my Windows version is 10 10.0.19045.2364.

Could this be a corrupted preferences file issue? Resetting prefs is the first thing one usually does in such cases.

[filand85185955]

Resetting the preferences worked. Thanks!

@filand85185955 – You're welcome!

Resetting preferences helps with a multitude of isues, here's some more info about that for anyone contemplating it:

Resetting Photoshop preferences

(read this entire post before acting please)

Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes.

If they become corrupt then various issues can occur.

Here’s some info on how to do that:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state: 

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

Note re macOS: The user Library folder is hidden by default.

To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files.

https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

Unexpected behavior may indicate damaged preferences. Restoring preferences to their default settings is a good idea when trying to troubleshoot unexpected behaviors in Photoshop. check out the video

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences

Learn how to access and modify Photoshop preferences and customize per your frequent workflows

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

And here’s an earlier forum discussion as an aid to understanding

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-reset-photoshop-pre...

You may want to backup your settings and custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences.

Here is general info about that:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

Before you reset your preferences

in case of future issues, I suggest you make a copy as Adobe may need one to check problematic references. 

Quit Photoshop.
Go to Photoshop's Preferences folder

Preferences file locations: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html\

  [on MacOS see: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

  Note for those on macOS: - be aware that the user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS.

  https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

  In the Finder, open the “Go” menu whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key.

  Library will now appear in the list - below the current user's “home” directory. ]

Now you can drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe as a back-up of your settings.

Note for those on macOS:

Preference preservation is affected by macOS permissions,

you’ll need to allow Photoshop ‘Full Disk Access’ in your Mac OS Preferences/Security and Privacy

It may even be time to reinstall Photoshop.

It’s recommended that you use the Adobe CC cleaner tool to remove all traces first.

(See above about preserving preferences though! Its worth preserving them unless they are corrupted.)

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Uninstall Photoshop BUT make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”.

Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

I hope this helps
