SAVE TO CLOUD DOCUMENTS GREY IN PHOTOSHOP

when I go to save the image Photoshop does not allow me to choose to save it to cloud document. The icon is not active and remains grey. (see picture). I have never saved my images to the cloud, so maybe is a dummy question. What can I do to activate it?

I had this issue as well. I was able to fix it by logging into creative cloud and checking to see if I had any new pending Photoshop Updates. Once I installed the updates and re-opened my Photoshop document the Save to Cloud Documents button was no longer greyed out! Hope this works for you too!

You are trying to save a jpeg as a Cloud document. Does the icon become active when you change the file format from jpeg to psd?

Peggy, are you and Carlo the same person? Carlo's screenshot showed a jpeg and my reply from April 2022 that you have just now responded to was specifically to Carlos and his situation.

I am having the same issue and have been experiencing it since the last update. The icon is greyed out and I am connected to internet, cloud is synched, and have tried all file types. The previous update I had issues with 'saved to cloud' files simply dissapearing. Now this last update doesn't allow me to save to the cloud at all.

I've narrowed down my save issue locations:

it's only happening on certain wifis. If I connect to my personal wifi or through my cell phone everything is normal and I can save to cloud. If I am on university wifi the icon is grayed out.

Hello, I tried this and it did not work. Do you have any other suggestions? I have tons of space left on the cloud and it is only this one file that won't save. I have made files like of these kinds for years and have never run into this problem. This is the first one that has given me trouble and I don't know why.

Updates did not work for me!  I WANT to save to the CLOUD, but it's greyed out. On the preferences, it DOESN'T EVEN SHOW the option: DEFAULT FILE LOCATION ???? I've spent hours updating, and searching for a solution, but have found NOTHING that works! :^(

When you click File - save as, make sure to select "psd" as the file type (save to cloud will be greyed out if your file type is a tiff, jpeg etc file format.

Same thing has happened to me. Tried on different wifi networks, tried checking for updates. And yes, the file is a PSD. Nothing helps. Save to Cloud Documents is greyed out, and I can't work out why.

So basically no fix for this or the same suggestions that people are saying are not the issue? Which I am saying are not my issue. I can't restart or will lose my work. Guessing it's a bug since they just updated again.
