I did a test a while ago with a colleague to see if we could share a Google Drive folder and put an InDesign file and InCopy files in there, and it worked great. I’m curious as to why your company has such faith in getting rid of their servers and using Google Drive. Thankfully–we have a server, and if that ever craps the bed, we have twice-daily back-ups to external drives, as well as archives going back several years. If Google has an outage for a day or two (or even hours), we’d be screwed. I wouldn’t trust anything in the cloud with our livelihood. Note: Personally, if my company ever thought of using Google Drive instead of our server, I’d be the first to object. In that folder is my pages folder, fonts folder, art folder, etc. For example, in my work flow, I have a main folder for each specific job.

I know your questions about the art were directed to Artwork Abode, but I would think the best way to do your art is an art folder for each job. I think it’s best to work on your local machine and then back it up to the server/remote site when you are done. In any event, I’ve always found it dangerous to work on a live document on the server or remotely. I’m thinking you’d have to download to your computer, work on it, then place back on Google Drive when done. My advice for the time being is to save the PDF files locally and then move the file to a location in Google Drive.The last I knew, you can’t edit or work non–Google Drive documents via browser. Unfortunately there is no solution at this time. I think it would be useful to periodically check both programs for updates. But I hope the problem will be solved as soon as possible with an update of Google Drive for desktop or an update of Adobe InDesign. It seems that the problem is caused by Indesign itself since it does not occur with other programs. I was able to check our internal database and I see that we are aware of this problem when saving PDF files directly with Indesign.

When saving an indesign of illustrator file (not a PDF), it just works.ĭoes any one else have or have had the same problem?.

It's only an issue with PDF files exported from Adobe Indesign directly on Google Drive Desktop. The file get's synced and can be opened by all other users.

Next, when the owner duplicates the '0 byte file', it's working fine (🤯). So when exporting to PDF, the PDF is always 'damaged' because it has 0 bytes, while the 'background tasks' in Indesign aren't showing any problems. Two of our colleagues are experiencing the same problem: when exporting a PDF from Indesign directly into Google Drive Desktop, the files for other colleagues are showing up as 0 bytes.
