You must turn off automatic Adobe cloud storage settings

Once you've received your Adobe software, you must turn off the automatic settings for Adobe cloud storage manually. This will enable you to be able to save documents to your device or to your UofG OneDrive.

Please change the settings as follows:

1. Open Adobe.

2. Select Menu > Preferences > General.

3. Under Basic Tools, locate these two options:

  • Show online storage when opening files
  • Show online storage when saving files

4. If there is a check mark beside either of these, click or tap on the check box to de-select these two items so that they are no longer selected.

5. Select OK to save these changes.
