Bug: Keywords wiped out in Creative Cloud File Storage

Hello,
I think I may have uncovered a bug in the Creative Cloud Drive.
I uploaded over 250 photos with keywords to my CC account however upon upload, CC appears to have deleted all the keywords
from the meta data.
Could anyone verify whether this is a CC prfoblem?
Could anyone suggest a fix, or some way to get those keywords back as it would take a very long time to re-add those keywords?
Thanks

I have emailed you about resolving this issue.

What is Adobe's policy regarding ownership of files uploaded to my Creative Cloud file storage?

If I place files in my Creative Cloud file storage, does Adobe have a policy regarding employee access to these files or whether Adobe claims any rights to use my files?

Thanks Kevin.
I will add that if someone uses the Report abuse link on a file you share it will be accessed per the Terms of Use.
The only other time a file would be accessed is with explicit permission from the customer for a bug investigation. In that case we would investigate the bug but not use the file for any other purpose.

Adobe Creative Cloud file storage

Can I edit an Illustrator file that I have saved in Creative Cloud Files without first having to download it to my mac and then re-upload it once I'm finished editing it?

You cannot access file directly that are stored in the Creative Cloud file storage.
You can use file syncing and store the file in your Creative Cloud Files folder. That way your changes are synced up to the Creative Cloud file storage. If you do not have access to the file sycning yet you can sign up from the Early Access page at https://creative.adobe.com/earlyaccess.

Where do I find priceinformation regarding increasing creative cloud file storage from 100GB to 200GB per user?

Hi,
just wondering where to find pricing for increasing storage for creative cloud files from 100GB to 200GB and is it possible?
I have looked through adobes sites and cant find any information regarding this.
Thx in advance

As of now storage purchase plan is not there, I shall update you after consulting with the concerned department.

Is it possible to purchase creative cloud file storage without paying for apps?

I already have CS6 and I am not currently interested in purchasing app or paying monthly for the use of said apps. I would just like to pay a little for a little extra storage.

Just curious but why would you want to pay Adobe for storage? It's bad enough now days that people have to rent their software for CC.
Have you considered things such as: Box - Dropbox - Google Drive - SkyDrive - etc., (to name a few). Many of which have better features than Adobe's offering and come with less the trouble to deal with relative to many threads found on the forum concerning issues.

Creative cloud files and dreamweaver

can i use creative cloud files (cloud storage) to store and access dreamweaver files for 2 computers? Can I access and edit files from computer 1 and then the next day access and edit files from computer 2 and have creative cloud syncronize both computers to the cloud storage?

You cannot access the files stored in the Creative Cloud directly.
What you can use is file syncing. This way any changes you make to files in the Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer are synced up to the Creative Cloud file storage, and then synced back down to the other computer that is also running file syncing.
To use file syncing sign up at the Early Access page here https://creative.adobe.com/earlyaccess.

Creative Cloud Files Public Download Bug

When I make a file in my Creative Cloud Files public and downloadable and share the link, the download does not work for other people. I can download the file fine when I am signed in to my account. When the link is shared and someone clicks Actions -> Download, the browser returns the message:
{"message":{"x-request-id":"xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"}}
The x's are all hexadecimal characters and are different every time the download is requested. (I omitted them in case they are tied to my file somehow.)
I have found a way around this but it should be fixed since most people won't know what to do. You can download the file by removing the string "access_token=undefined" from the URL.
While experimenting with this, I found a security exploit that allows you to download a publicly shared file even if downloads are disabled by the sharer. Replace the shared URL "https://creative.adobe.com/share/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" with https://d0.creative.adobe.com/api/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" and the file will download.

Ken: I have the same issue. It's highly unprofessional to send a link to a client only for them to say that it doesn't work. Is there any update on this? Or are we to be met with the same wall of silence from Adobe we had after the Creative Cloud Connection fiasco?

Working in Lighroom on two computers (synced with Creative Cloud files).

Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been addressed before but I haven't been able to find a relevant discussion on the forums, so hopefully someone can help out.
After I shoot a series of photos (e.g. on a trip or for work) I use Lightroom for my workflow. Rating, flagging, etc. prior to editing (simple edits in LR and then advanced retouching in Photoshop). I have traditionally done all of this on one computer with one LR catalog, and only one computer needs to have a full catalog on it at the end of the day (not both).
Really, the only thing that needs to sync is the metadata (XMP's are fine) and any changes to the original files (e.g. if I edit one in Photoshop). I have a full CC membership at my disposal, as well as things like Dropbox, Cubby, etc.. Here's what I thought about doing, please let me know what you think or if there's a better way in your mind:
1. Create folder on Computer A in the Creative Cloud folder (or Dropbox, or whatever).
2. Import photos to LR catalog on Computer A.
3. Import synced photos to (separate) LR catalog on Computer B.
4. Work on either computer independently, as XMP's and file changes should be synced after working with files.
5. When finished, move folder on Computer A to its rightful place in my albums folder. (Use LR to move the folder so the catalog stays updated).
6. Delete folder/catalog entry on Computer B.
Does this work? If I want to use Lightroom Mobile (sync with my iPad) how will that affect this workflow?
Thanks all!

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.

Why do I have 3 'Creative Cloud Files' folders?

Hello! I have a question about the Creative Cloud folder structure/syncing.
I installed the Creative Cloud Desktop application on my MacBook Pro and then installed the following programs: Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro.
Once I had done that I switched 'file sync' on in the Desktop Application bar.
I noticed that I have three different areas called 'Creative Cloud Files' and one of these folders is called 'Creative Cloud Files Unknown' [see screenshot below].
Does anyone know why there are three separate locations? Which area am I supposed to save my files in so that I can sync them with the cloud? Can I delete the one that says 'unknown' in the file name? I assume that the folder listed in the Favourites Bar is the same place as the 'Creative Cloud Files' folder in my account?

Targeted erase of Creative Cloud Files on my hard drive.

Hi,
All my Creative Cloud files have been deleted off my Macbook.
Interestingly enough, it was only the files inside the Creative Cloud folder, nothing else was touched.
My main client folders are still viewable, but all content within are gone.
YI can sync to the cloud and pull all my files, but I had been working without a internet and some files weren't synced.
So i'm going to have to play catch up over the weekend. Im slightly annoyed that ONLY my CC folder was effected. Everything else was untouched.
Has anyone had this issue? Is it related to CC's security? Some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dominic

How can I view my Creative Cloud Files on my iOS device?

Hi All, I recently turned on file sync in my Creative Cloud app, and like the WEB UI overall. I'm considering permanently switching to CC from Dropbox. The one thing I can't seem to find is a CC iOS application. Are we seriously expected to browse our files via mobile device on a browser? There is no app?
Excerpt from Adobe Site:
"Your Adobe Creative Cloud account comes with online storage so that your files are available to you anywhere and on any device or computer. You can preview many creative file types directly in a web browser on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. These file types include: PSD, AI, INDD, JPG, PDF, GIF, PNG, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, and others."
Edit: I just tried using the file explorer via Safari and Chrome on my iPhone 5s and the scrolling is completely broken, I can only see the first few folders, and am unable to scroll down for the rest.

1. I'll make sure to do that
2. The Touch Apps do not help me with the functionality I am looking for.
3. I contacted Adobe Support and received no help, transcript below:

CoreSync.exe blocks all network traffic while (slowly) syncing my Creative Cloud files

Hello folks,
Since the latest Creative Cloud update (I'm using version 1.9.0.465 as of this writing), I've been unable to successfully sync my Creative Cloud Files folder.
First things first, as other forum users have posted elsewhere, when the update installed itself, my Creative Cloud Files folder was moved from my chosen location to its default location (C:\Users\MyUserName) and I've been unable to put it back where I wanted it.
However, more pressingly, I noticed that every time I booted my computer, neither my wife nor I were able to access the Internet. After a couple days' trial and error I realized that Creative Cloud was trying (unsuccessfully) to sync about seven files (totaling about 750MB) to the cloud, and anytime the sync was actively working, my network access was completely blocked. Even the Creative Cloud desktop app itself couldn't access the Internet to authenticate my apps or Typekit fonts.
I have managed to get much smaller files (1MB, 5MB, up to 15MB) to sync successfully, however this takes a really long time, and no one on my network can manage to load a web page on their device until the sync is complete.
Right now I've got syncing paused, and everything on my network is working fine.
For some additional info, I've attached a screen grab of my Networking tab from Task Manager:
The big spikes in that graph are me and my wife loading up tons of web content-- YouTube videos, a million tabs of who-knows-what, all acting normally. Then I hit Resume on CC's sync operation, my activity line clamps way down, and no one can load any Internet content anywhere. After that, I released my computer's IP address from the command prompt, at which point Creative Cloud Desktop returned a connection failure, and I quit the app. When I renewed my IP address, I noticed our network access was still blocked, even though Creative Cloud was not running. I traced the problem back to CoreSync.exe, which had continued running even after I'd quit Creative Cloud. The moment I ended the CoreSync.exe process, everything was back to normal... until I restarted the Creative Cloud app, which in turn restarted CoreSync.exe. It was only after pausing CC's sync operation that we were able to use the Internet again.
So! To sum up, here are my two issues:
Syncing is entirely broken, and prevents everyone on my network from using the Internet while CC spins its wheels.
For some reason, following the same update, I'm unable to change the location of my Creative Cloud Files folder.
Some things I've tried:
Uninstalling & reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop app-- no change
Clearing my archived files on creative.adobe.com in case there was some weird argument happening between my live/syncing files and my archived files-- no change
Manually adding CoreSync.exe to my Windows Firewall whitelist-- no change
Finally, I can recreate this issue on my second computer, running the same version of Creative Cloud but running off wireless instead of Ethernet. Same symptoms-- feed it a file to sync, and everyone's Internet access is gone until the sync operation [eventually] finishes.
I'm completely stumped and very frustrated. I rely heavily on CC's file syncing feature, and as it's the only cloud storage product I'm actually paying for, I'm not willing to abandon it for another service like DropBox. I'm willing to try just about anything-- and in the meantime I'm just wishing Creative Cloud Desktop app updates weren't compulsory; the last build I'd installed here was working perfectly fine.
My basic system specs in case it's helpful:
Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1
2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 @ 2.6GHz
64GB DDR3 RAM
nVidia Quadro 4000
Any insights would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Heyo Dave,
Thanks so much for your reply and suggestions. Here's what I've discovered after some more noodling.
I'm no networking guy, but I can't seem to find anything about my modem or router that would explain why my upstream traffic is being throttled using CC-- especially since it's all the same hardware I was using last week before I updated CC.
In addition, I've tried test uploading a couple of files using DropBox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer.com, and neither process interrupts Internet use on my network.
With all that said, I did go in and pull back my Transfer Speed settings in CC from Maximum to Low, and that made a big difference! Syncing continued to work, and our other network requests were working just fine. I managed to get my upload speed set as high as Medium; High and Maximum both kill my network within seconds of being set.
So I'm not sure what was done to the CC application in this release to supposedly enable us to "Sync Files and Fonts faster" (from the release notes), but whatever it is, it's got my uploads capping at 100Kbps (compared to a minimum 350Kbps using Google Drive) unless no one in my home wants to check their email for the next hour. That's a significant bummer for me, as my After Effects projects regularly swell to ~50MB toward the end of a project.
I'd like to submit a big report here, since really the only variable at play in this situation was the Creative Cloud update. However, unfortunately it looks like the bug report form is down... I'll have to try again later.
In the meantime, if there are any other suggestions for experiments I can run on this beast, I'm happy to oblige and report back in case other folks with similar issues can get some relief!
Thanks again,
Jared

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.

Illustrator project went missing from Creative Cloud files

I am using a trial version of illustrator and have been working on a project for a week now and then today I went to open it up and the file shows up in recent files but says it is missing. I checked in my creative cloud files folder and it is no longer there. After opening illustrator again it no longer shows up in my recent files either. I am trying to get this file back since I was almost done.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any advice or ideas!

Hi,
Are you aware of this bug after the most recent update? Why do I have 3 'Creative Cloud Files' folders? It could be the case your file is actually in another Creative Cloud folder. Could you please check and report back.
Thanks
Warner

Lightroom does not open.. I uninstalled then reinstalled LR CC to no avail; I signed out of Creative Cloud I signed back in... NOTHING... NADA!!

Lightroom does not open.. I uninstalled then reinstalled LR CC to no avail; I signed out of Creative Cloud I signed back in... NOTHING... NADA!!

I know it is headache to go through same process again.
Open Preferences folder and move all Lightroom prefernces file to Desktop.
Make sure that not even single Light room prference files like com.adobe.lightoom.plist...etcare there inside Preferences folder.
Then reboot the computer and Sign out from Creative Cloud and Sign in and then try to Launch Ligthroom CC 2015 application , by double clicking on Lightroom cc 2015 option under Apps list in Creative Cloud application" .
Still same issue ??
Remove Lightroom cc application and the reinstall the same from Creative Cloud.
Then try launching Lightroom cc 2015 from Apps list in CC app.
Still same issue?
If it is okay for you , you may try launching from Root user account.
