Many graphic designers use Adobe Photoshop, a well-known software, which utilizes Adobe Creative Cloud to store their designs and artwork. While this can be convenient, there may be times when you wish to save your work locally instead of on the cloud. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to disable the automatic saving feature in Photoshop to the cloud.
Why Disable Cloud Saving?
While saving files to Adobe Creative Cloud offers numerous benefits such as accessibility from any device and easier file sharing, it might not be ideal for everyone. You may wish to save space on your cloud storage, or perhaps you are working on sensitive projects that you’d rather not have stored on the cloud. Whatever your reasons, here’s how to stop Photoshop from saving to the cloud.
Step-by-Step Guide
Note: This guide is based on Adobe Photoshop CC 2021. The steps might slightly vary for other versions.
Step 1: Open Preferences
Open Adobe Photoshop and go to the Edit menu (on Windows) or the Photoshop menu (on macOS). From there, select Preferences, then File Handling.
Step 2: Change the Auto-Save Options
In the File Handling dialog box that appears, you’ll find the Automatic save to Creative Cloud option. It’s typically set to ‘always’ by default.
Change the setting from ‘Always’ to ‘Never’. This will stop Photoshop from automatically saving your files to Adobe Creative Cloud.
Step 3: Save Changes
Click on the OK button to save your changes.
Conclusion
And there you have it! A simple way to stop Photoshop from saving to the cloud. Remember, by doing this, you will not be able to access your Photoshop files from other devices via Adobe Creative Cloud. Ensure you have adequate local storage space and remember to manually save your projects frequently.
