When I try to link (place) an image from OneDrive to Indesign I get the following error message: Adobe indesign is downloading a file from com.microsoft.onedrive. The file wont open until the download completes.
I don't believe OneDrive is a directly accessible file resource. Files have to be downloaded locally (which sometimes is done as a background, temp download, making it seem seamless). I don't think ID can link directly to OneDrive resources.
It works exactly the same as Dropbox. AFAIK, all of the cloud services now have the ability to download on demand. InDesign hates that and will throw the alert (it's not an error) when Cloud-Only is enabled.
So they all simply mirror those folders rather than allowing the files to actually reside on the remote resource. I bet that's giving some users questions about where their local storage space is going.
My InDesign stops loading at the startup panel at the "Executing startup services..." - and then nothing happens. This panel is open till I close the process in the task manager. I haven't opened it in about 2 weeks and back then it worked just fine.
Also you mentioned that it had been a couple of weeks since you opened the program. The most recent update of Windows 10 has caused problems for many people so your problems may be related to the update.
I marked it as resolved because I thought I found the cause of the problem which was to uninstall all Apple programs I installed last week. After I deinstalled iTunes, indesign started but the problem has only shifted. Now indesign starts but only the program window itself and the menu bar is on the screen. Can't click anything, no panels and have also to close the process to exit the program.
I also have deinstalled indesign by itself, indesign and all other adobe programs I had installed, deinstalled the creative cloud, did run the creative cloud cleaner tool. Also did I install an older version. As I said I tried everything I read on the support site from adobe as well as some other stuff users recommended in the forums for similar problems.
First of all the most up to date version of InDesign is 13.1 (your original post said 13.0.1). Make sure that you are updated to that. Also how old is your computer? I am not a Windows user but I do know that Microsoft is constantly updating that OS so what was working before the latest update may not be working correctly now. So if your computer is older it may not be handling the update well. Check with Microsoft as to what the system requirements are for the latest Windows 10.
Sorry I read that wrong my Indesign is at version 13.1. At least I think so because I can't start it to check. But at the dropdown menu I could install 13.0.1, 13, and so on. My Computer is 3 months old.
Oh, well, I, for instance, have the exactly same problem... an I am very angry about all these repeatedly occorring problems because I expect something to work without any shenanigans if I'm forced to pay for an abonnement like Adobe wants me to! A software developer like ADOBE should expect hardware / system update changes or people with computers not bought 2 days ago and react accordingly, not making his customers desperately look for answers in online troubleshoot boards! I don't have time for that, I WORK with Adobe programs. It may be appropriate for weekend-"artists" or hobby-"designers" who just want to make their hair look nicer in photoshop or "design" a birthday card for daddy to happily browse possible solutions for problems which shouldn't exist in the first place at all, it is not for professionals. Solve your software problems, THEN charge for the programs. I suspect more and more that I have to pay for some kind of Beta-Version...
I just became an adobe member and downloaded and installed InDesign through the creative cloud desktop. When I start the program it opens a dialog screen where he tries to load something in. After 1 to 2 seconds it closes again to then re-open and trying to load again. It keeps doing this in an infinite cycle of opening and closing (see picture).
I've seen such a tedious procedure with some of the installations of Creative Cloud at the university where I do my lecturing. Every time I connect to the server using Remote Desktop and start up whatever installed Adobe app there is, Adobe insists on that double-authentification process and sends me a six-digit number by mail to complete my log-in to e.g. InDesign or PhotoShop.
While the problem was occuring the only way I found make it work at first was to log off from creative cloud, then launch the program where I had to log in and it asked me the full double authentification proces every log in. I used 7 codes just today.
I wouldn't know how it would be with a shared computer situation as you have at your university, but do you first log in to the creative cloud or do you open the programs from the desktop? I think it would make a difference as it seems creative cloud holds everything together.
