Yes, I did have the cloud option turned on, and for some reason the Google Drive option has become disabled (greyed out). I have Google Drive installed so I’m not entirely sure why that has happened.

In the UDL window (Language > Define Your Language) there’s a field near the top marked "Ext. ". Type in the file extension you want to be associated with your UDL. You can use a common one like txt, or make up your own - but don’t include the dot.
In your case, just enter adoc.
