What happened to my files in creative cloud?!

I put files into my creative cloud folder yesterday from another location so I could back them up. Turned on my computer to work and they are all gone. Everything is gone. It's resyncing some of it, but I checked the Creative Cloud archive and all the files I moved are gone. My creative cloud has reverted back to yesterday before I placed those files there and I lost several months of work which I need for my clients!! Why is creative cloud deleting files from my computer without telling me and then resyncing everything? I love Adobe Products, but the creative cloud is a nightmare to work with. I lost so much work!

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown).  The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to.  If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.

    What happens to my files on creative cloud folder after the end of my subscription?

    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
    "What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel or downgrade my membership?
    Your Creative Cloud files are stored on your desktop as well as on the Creative Cloud servers. If you cancel or downgrade your paid membership, you will still have access to all of the files in the Creative Cloud folder on your computer and via the Creative Cloud website.
    Your account will be downgraded to a free membership, which includes 2GB of storage. If you’re using more than 2GB of storage, you will not be able to upload any new files to the cloud until the amount of online space used in your account drops below your allotted amount.
    If you are over your storage limit, you have 90 days to reduce your online usage or you may lose access to some or all of your files saved on the Creative Cloud servers."

  • What happens if you cancel a creative cloud subscription but are still getting charged?

    Last month we requested to cancel our original adobe creative cloud subscription (had 3 seats) and move these 3 seats to a new company creative cloud subscription.
    We contacted customer support and explained that we wanted this subscription cancelled. They said via chat that it was cancelled but we have seen automatic invoices stating a payment for September had gone through on our credit card to pay for the original creative cloud subscription.
    How do we go about cancelling this original subscription all together so this doesn't happen?

    The last charge was on September 9th 2014 for order # AD002776386NZ, Please confirm the date of cancellation requested via private messaging, I can follow up the case.

  • Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

    HI,
    I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
    Can I share files on the creative cloud  between these two types of users?
    Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
    Is there any way of doing version control ?
    We are also worried about this
    "If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
    The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
    Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
    rgds Renovator

    Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
    Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
    There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
    Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

  • Downloading InDesign book files from Creative Cloud files

    Gang,
    I'm working on a project that has me using the Creative Cloud files to store the changes I make. I know I'm not using all of the features, but with my own personal account on two machines and my employers site license on the other, I end up using the browser version of Creative Cloud to upload and download files on my work computer.
    When I download a book file (.indb), Creative Cloud and my browser seem to get confused as to what kind of file it is. Creative Cloud asks me and doesn't have an option for InDesign Book. When it downloads, it downloads as a .octet-stream file. I later go to Finder and change the extension to indb and life is good.
    Is this a bug or a feature?
    Warren BIngham

    This is a bug. Will update this thread once it is fixed.

  • IPad does not let me add files from creative cloud into ps touch.

    When I attempt to add a file from creative cloud into iPad ps touch I receive a connection failure message.  I have tried this on two different wifi locations.  Sync works as I can see the file I uploaded from a desktop computer into creative cloud, but I cannot go to new from creative cloud, choose a file, and click add.  It gives me a connection failure - downloading failed -image cannot be loaded.  please try again.  My desktop computers work fine on the same networks.

    This is happening to me as well and the service department had me on hold for 1 hour and 10 minutes and couldn't help. 

  • Need help converting project file from Creative Cloud to CS6

    Hello.
    I started a project file on the Adobe Creative Cloud and I am trying to convert the file to CS6 (as that is what all my editors have). I have all of my time codes generated in Creative Cloud and I need the easiest solution to share the file across platforms with out corrupting it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
    -A*

    I am the director of the project- so I am not very technically inclined to answer these questions, but will try my best. My lead editor dropped out of the project leaving me very confused and I am trying to establish a new workflow based off of her existing project file.
    The original project was started in Adobe Creative Cloud. I am now trying to use Adobe CS6 and I am trying to figure out if we can convert a file from Creative Cloud > CS6. If you can provide a list of questions for me to ask my previous editor I can direct them to her and try to provide a more concise answer. Thanks for your help.

    Hello,

    Somebody help?

    You do not need ?&promoid=KRUVP at the end of the url but it should not matter.
    One thing to check is if your hosts file is modified. Open the Command Prompt and type: notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    This will open a read-only copy of your host file in Notepad. Are there any entries in this file regarding adobe.com?
    The other thing you can do is open the Developer Tools in the Chrome browser. On Windows press Ctrl + Shift to open them. Switch to the Network tab. Reload the page by pressing Ctrl + r. Check for any 4xx or 5xx errors which should be colored red.
    Post screenshots of your results or send me a private forum message with the information.

    Creative cloud quit, says "download again" and still no joy, same message.  Camera raw gone, Existing Lightroom 4.3 and PS-12 won't talk.  What's up?  Looks like Creative Cloud trial botched up something. iMac
    Tried a number of "fixes" from blogs.  No joy.  Deleted all my adobe apps, rebooted, and Creative Cloud says it needs to reload.  Went through that process, and it quit near the end, saying it needed to reload and directed me back to same Adobe site.  Hmm.  Round and round we go.  How do I get off of this loop and get my Adobe Lightroom and PS working fine again?  Whole episode started after loading CC and then PS said it didn't have Camera Raw.  Went and downloaded that, wouldn't load and said I needed Adobe Download Diagnostic (or something like that) went to suggested link, whereupon it tells me it is no loger available. 
    Looking forward to cleaning everything off and starting over!!  Any input gratefully accepted and I will NOT be trying CC again.  I am sure it is just fine, just not for me, now.

  • When sharing InDesign files via Creative Cloud, is there a way to display spreads instead of individual pages?

    We're designing a booklet, and the client needs to see the spreads, not just one page at a time. I can export a .pdf... but I'd like to just share the .indd file.
    [Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

    I will be sending him a link to the file in Creative Cloud, so he'll be using his internet browser.

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

  • Unable to sync files to creative cloud

    I cant sync my files to creative cloud from my mac. It says syncronising is turned of, but i havent turned any thing of ?

    HI Christopher,
    in order for us to understand the possible cause, would you be able to send us some log files?  I'm looking for the CoreSync.log files for the period you're referring to.
    You will find the Coresync.log file here -
    Mac - /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
    (On Mac, you need to use the Go To Folder option from the Go option in Finder (menu at the top).  Then in the pop up enter:
    /users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/
    Then select go, this will take you to the folder containing the .log files.)
    Please email the log files to [email protected] and [email protected]

  • What happened to dreamweaver file created in xp when opened in vista?

    I created a dreamweaver site in CS4 on windows xp, but recently upgraded to vista home premium. After I downloaded dreamweaver on vista, and restored my files, the Design and Code view shows unreadable text or code on my homepage html file. All of the other html files are normal. Attached is a sample of what my home page file looks like in design or code view. What happened to my file?

    Your attachment didn't attach. Not your fault; they frequently don't.
    To check out this unreadable text issue, go to your Edit > Preferences > Fonts and make sure that the fonts that are chosen are available on your new vista system. That should help with errors in Code View. If you are having Design View unreadability (!) check the header of your page to make sure that there is a declaration like this one:
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    It will appear right after the DOCTYPE declaration (in Code View).
    It's pretty disappointing when a new system isn't actually BETTER right away! My sympathy.
