    Hi Bre866,

    Do you mean that your files are getting saved to OneDrive? If yes, then they should also be on your computer.

    The links that you provided didn't work so please provide more information to understand your question better. If possible, provide a screenshot.

    Note: Hide all personal identifiable information on the screenshot.

    We'll be here for your response. - Amit

    The d.docs.live.net location means OneDrive.

    If you are saying that you want to save everything locally, select the option "Save to Computer by default" and also specify a "Default local save location" at File > Options > Save.

    Any documents that are currently saved to the cloud or synchronized via the local OneDrive folder must be moved out of that location.

    Hi Mr. Blom

    Thank you for responding to my request. I did a system recovery and that seemed to help, although it seem to have created some other challenges. But the situation is better, I can use one drive and adobe again.

    Thank you
