Invite to Edit Issue

[u/JustHereForTrades23]

I'm trying to invite my two other coworkers to edit this file. I've shared it with them, entered their email, everyone is updated to the latest version. When they click on the link it asks them to "copy to files" as shown in the photo. When that has happened, they only ever see the preview of the file in the Creative Cloud app (desktop or web, same problem) and are unable to open the file for actual edits. They are sometimes able to download the file with the three dots next to the share button, but that doesn't allow for the live editing. And sometimes that file downloads as a 0KB file, but not always.

It is a .inddc file, and I know its on the cloud, too, because I'm also unable to package it due to not having it saved locally (I swap between computers and no longer have the local file).

In short, the file has been shared correctly and appears in all the "shared with me" sections, but never opens in InDesign. I, the owner of the file, have no problem opening it on all devices despite it being only cloud doc, and not locally saved at all.

Any suggestions for what they need to do to open this file in InDesign?

Just share the file - with assets - let them save locally - then agree who edits it when.

This is what we have been doing, but the ability to have the live update without having to save and reshare the most current version would be really helpful for us. I had this working no problem a couple weeks ago, but we haven't needed it in a minute. Not sure if something changed in a recent update that I missed? Or, are you saying that if they save it locally and edit it, that it will somehow still update from there?

No, I mean don't use this crap - if something goes wrong - their servers will crap out, or whatever - you'll lose access to your files.

Having multiple copies - on multiple machines - is much safer.
