Cloud working
A feature for working together on an Indesign document would be great for the year 2019. Similar to Adobe XD Cloud documents, or comparatively like the collaboration of Indesign and Incopy (Check in / Check out) - just cloud based.
I Just want a solution for a group of Designers working on one project without having the trouble of creating a load of documents.
thx

Placing Cloud Documets
Placing Cloud Documents in InDesign would vastly improve and simplify the workflow of a project started in apps such as Photoshop, Fresco, or Illustrator on iPad Pro. This would allow editing the files placed in the InDesign file without the need to export the Cloud Documents to a compatible often uneditable file format.

Packaging cloud
When you package a file, it would be helpful if InDesign took any cloud documents and then saved them as part of the packaged file. Currently when you send someone your packaged file, the links are broken/missing because they still exist on the original designer's cloud.

Custom Workspaces - Save to Cloud
It would be great if we could save custom workspaces in the cloud so we don't have to recreate them when we reinstall CC on a new computer, for eg... Thanx!

Open cloud file indicator
When working at Creative Cloud group it would be useful to know if the document is open to another member of the group. The Up to Date symbol could indicate whether the document is open.
If the documents are open at the same time, there will be a conflict and the things done will not be in the same document.

Non-cloud versions needed as an option
Improve InDesign by creating non-cloud versions again as an option. The cloud is not ideal from a security perspective, nor from a constantly moving, time wasting upgrade perspective —which cascades into more problems when coupled with OS upgrades, printer issues, etc. Very consumer unfriendly. Have spent a week trying to resolve an upgrade problem over multiple platforms, and now stuck in a problematic OS to conform to your upgrades so I can work with a client.

Integrate PDF comments directly with Document Cloud 'Send for Review'
Currently it's very effective to download a PDF from Document Cloud after using the Acrobat DC 'Send for Review' and then import the comments into InDesign using the PDF comments panel.
It would be great to cut out the Acrobat round-trip and have InDesign export a file for review directly to Document Cloud, and then automatically add the reviewers comments back into the ID workspace.

Add Creative Cloud Libraries to InCopy
InCopy users would find CC Libraries very useful in many situations. Why aren't they part of the CC Library party?
They could import selected graphics from a shared CC Lib to the story (as anchored graphics), same as they can Place them now. They could use them to bring in boilerplate text via linked InDesign text. They could use them to add styles to their standalone InCopy docs (eg, the body style for the INDD file the story will be flowed into). I'm sure there are more uses!

Ability to sync text variables via Creative Cloud Libraries
Similar to another suggestion here requesting the ability to import .csv content as variables: it would also be useful to be able to insert a text variable into an InDesign document from an external source such as Creative Cloud Libraries. This would enable a simple central location for variable information (eg prices, product specs etc) that could then be used across multiple documents. Updating the central data would then update all 'linked' variables when an InDesign document is opened, removing the need to manually update and the subsequent risk of human error.

Auto save every change to Creative Cloud and Dropbox
There really needs to be an auto save like you find in Office 365 & Google Docs. I know it has a background auto recovery but I don't trust that. It would make everything easier if every action was auto saved via cloud to the original file. Of course, still keep the back up recovery save feature.

Syncing Redlines from Adobe Asset Cloud to InDesign
Syncing Redlines from Adobe Asset Cloud to InDesign - Noticing that the asset cloud link has the ability to redline and comment, but the redlines do not come over on the InDesign side with the asset link as they do when you import Adobe comments/redlines. This feature would be hugeeee for our industry to have. Also, using the asset link feature live has crashed indesign a couple times.

Save to Server vs cloud option
We save all of our files on a shared work server and keep track of versions and final files all on a shared server not through the cloud which also allows all non-adobe ID users to review files as well. We would like to be able to use the share function as we already use it in Acrobat but would love to select where the review file is stored.

Allow using existing folder path for cloud sync
currently there is no option to choose existing folders i want to backup \sync to the cloud
so this makes the idea of sync useless for me, since if i would change my existing projects folder paths it would break things up in my projects files linkscurretly adobe forces the user to use their folder (under any path) and place the files there
very poor workflow !

Enable importing of comments from PDF Review in Document Cloud
Importing of comments from a review being shared via Document Cloud makes perfect sense, this would make a seamless process. The new share for review feature looks great but is too buggy to use at the moment with clients (I have tried)

Use Creative Cloud Library items in G-Suite/Google Slides
I would like to be able to use the images that we add to our team's Creative Cloud Library inside of Google Slides so we can have one canonical place for all our assets to use across ID, PSD, AI and G-Suite.

Decide what folder that will be synced in creative cloud
Since we can have really big data storage in the creative cloud today I miss the function to choose what folders/projects I need on my local device that has less amount of storage than my cloud license. So I suggest a function Microsoft OneDrive have like "free up space" that removes the local copy. Most cooperate computers don have 1Tb disks so today with shared folders you can fill your disk quick and you cant control it in a good way.

InDesign needs to be able to work with files that are 100% cloud-based
Our company has moved all of our files to BOX (cloud-based). InDesign's links do not recognize URL so it defaults to our local drive.
We had to reach out to a company called Silicon Publishing and purchase a connector (plugin/extension) to deal with all the links that need to be cloud based (a true URL path).
Why had Adobe not addressed this and why are we having to purchase plugins to make the software work correctly?
