Signed up to use Adobe apps (begrudgingly) for a project and am plagued by these data access dialogs. Even when I click "Don't Allow" they just prompt again the next time I open an app.

This shit is so gross. I don't even know what the apps or Adobe is trying to do, but can't help but feel like it's something I don't want.

Web searches say the way to get rid of the prompts is to allow access đź«Ą

@jasonsantamaria I’ve complained about this internally. Unfortunately it’s not just InDesign, I’ve had it with SublimeText as well.

@jasonsantamaria The simplest explanation might be the app is trying to access CC file sharing

@frankrolf That’s a shame for it to sound so shady for something that can be clearly explained.

@jasonsantamaria I don’t think the intent is mischievous in any case. It’s not clear to me if there is a way to explain what’s happening within such a message. It might also be that Adobe is particularly susceptible to this, since the apps are part of a (more or less compatible) ecosystem.

I remember one such message some time ago: “Illustrator would like to record your screen” – uproar from the community.
Result: eyedropper tool no longer works beyond the application bounds.

@frankrolf Totally true, the tools here for developers are too limited to accurately communicate the real intent.

@jasonsantamaria @frankrolf which is a shame. Clear intent would go so much further with trust.
