Creative cloud files in more computers?

Ok, I have CC applications installed in one windows and on osx imac.
But I want to have shave and vie the cc files only (not apps) i more computers.
(at least one win and one osx laptops)
THe question is:
If I download and install the desktop CC app, does it count as an additional CC installation? no cc apps here just need the cc file folder.
Just wondering before doing it.
Regards

The latest version of Adobe Ideas (2.9.1) does not have automatic synchronization. Transferring files from Ideas to Creative Cloud and vice versa now requires manual steps.
To copy files to the Creative Cloud, go to the organizer view and tap the cloud button in the top right of the screen. This will prompt you to select the files you want to copy. Once you select one or more files, tap the Copy button. This will bring up a file browser that shows your files on Creative Cloud. Tap the Copy button again to confirm where you want to copy the files to.
To download files from Creative Cloud to Ideas, tap the "New From File" button at the bottom of the organizer view. (This button has an image icon with a '+' next to it.) Tap "Creative Cloud" from the popup menu. This will bring up a file browser that shows your files on Creative Cloud. If you tap on a .idea file, the file will be copied to your iPad and bring you into sketch mode with that file.
As for Draw, the "Fetch All Files" is not designed to ever be grayed out. Could you send a screenshot so we can diagnose why it is not tappable in your case?
Hope that helps,

  • Syncing Creative Cloud files on different computers

    Hi I have been working in Canada for 3 weeks and set up all my files to the creative cloud, but now back in the UK working on my regular MAC CC says it can't sync the files.
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    Can you send me your log files please?. You can find them in the following locations:
    Mac:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync

  • 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.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

  • Creative cloud files on external drive

    HI! Wondering if i can set the creative cloud files on an external hard drive?
    Tks

    Hi piixy,
    It is advisable to download and run the file directly however if you want to use the External hard drive then download the setup files of the software via http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html and install them on your PC.
    Please read and follow the Very Important section or else the download will not start.
    One Creative Cloud Subscription allows you two install on two computers. If you are signing in on more than two machines, it will ask you to deactivate it from previous two machines to install it on the third machine.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • You cannot change your default location of "Creative Cloud Files" for sync from desktop

    So, I'm finding that I am restricted from moving the "Creative Cloud Files" container (for syncing to the cloud from my desktop). It is bound to C:Users/Name and will not move.
    This is very saddening and seems like an elementary function that should be included.
    I do not want to store things on my small SSD C: drive -- thanks.
    Am I missing something here?

    Hi Mark,
    As per Adobe F.A.Q, I would like to state that :http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    "Your files remain on your local hard drive. You can also choose to take advantage of the ability to synchronize your local files with your Creative Cloud storage. Even if you choose to sync your files to Creative Cloud, you will always have a local copy of your files."
    There are some workarounds, it might work out, you can try it : It is for windows
    First, stop the sync and exit the app ( right-click on the Connection icon and click Turn Sync Off, right-click again and choose Exit )
    Go to “C:\Users\your user name” folder and locate Creative Cloud Files folder
    Move the folder to a different location ( e.g. “D:\Data\Creative Files” ) and make sure that you move complete Creative Cloud Files folder
    Run cmd.exe in admin privileges ( type cmd in Start menu, right click on cmd and select Run as administrator )
    Type following:
    mklink /J “C:\Users\your_user_name\Creative Cloud Folder” “D:\Data\Creative Files”
    You should receive message that the junction is created ( refer to this guide if you need more help:Complete Guide to Symbolic Links (symlinks) on Windows or Linux )
    Now to test it BEFORE you turn on the Connection app simply copy something to “D:\Data\Creative Files” folder, than go to Creative Cloud Files folder in your users folder and you should see the file you copied
    If you are able to see the file, all you have to do is to start the Connection app! Hooray!
    This guide should work for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

  • Not seeing new Creative Cloud files in Adobe Ideas

    I have downloaded the new Adobe Illustrator Draw program as was suggested when I opened up Adobe Ideas. I am having trouble getting my Creative Cloud files to sync in Adobe Ideas. I have created a new folder and placed these new files in that folder, thinking that might help jolt the sync to happen. I have also closed out the Adobe Ideas app and restarted my iPad. I don't have a "sync now" button in Adobe Ideas--didn't there used to be a button like that in Adobe Ideas? (I am also not able to "fetch" any new files in Adobe Illustrator Draw--the "Fetch files" button is grayed out and won't let me click it.) Thank you for any help.

    The latest version of Adobe Ideas (2.9.1) does not have automatic synchronization. Transferring files from Ideas to Creative Cloud and vice versa now requires manual steps.
    To copy files to the Creative Cloud, go to the organizer view and tap the cloud button in the top right of the screen. This will prompt you to select the files you want to copy. Once you select one or more files, tap the Copy button. This will bring up a file browser that shows your files on Creative Cloud.

    As for Draw, the "Fetch All Files" is not designed to ever be grayed out. Could you send a screenshot so we can diagnose why it is not tappable in your case?

  • Can I use my creative cloud products on more them one system at a time (Mac and PC)

    Can I use my creative cloud products on more them one system at a time (Mac and PC)
    I want to use the premiere on my Mac and some times on my PC.
    Can  I use it on other operating systems with one membership or do I have to purchase an other membership for my other system.   I am only working on one system or the other at one time.
    Thx

    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
    Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
    Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • 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:

  • Hello , can you with a single account creative cloud , install on two computers ? (The one from home and one at work)

    Hello , can you with a single account creative cloud , install on two computers ? (The one from home and one at work)
    This will avoid me lugging around my mac, sorry for my english.
    Margaux, photographer

    Yes, this has been allowed with Adobe applications going back many years.  A program such as Photoshop can legally be installed and activated on two computers at a time for the use of the single licensed user.  You can't install legally on your own and a friend's computer for use by the two different people.  Prior to Creative Cloud, there was an unwritten limit on how many times a given application could be activated, but there is no longer such a limit under CC.  That means you could theoretically install on three or four computers, activating only two at a time, and then deactivating one or both before activating on another computer.

  • How do I specify the 'My Documents' folder as the sync directory for 'Creative Cloud Files'?

    I know how to move the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory within preferences, but when I do this, it simply moves the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory within the 'My Documents' folder. I do not think you can set a specific folder as a 'sync' folder in the preferences. Would creating a symbolic link to the contents of 'My Documents' in 'Creative Cloud Files' directory work to enable the contents of 'My Documents' to sync with the cloud? This is for within Windows 8 BTW...

    Yes, I understand this. Perhaps a suggestion then to offer this as a feature in a future update. It would be useful to be able to specify an existing documents directory. For example, I have a couple of years worth of client work (psd, html, tpl files mainly) that would be useful to be able to have synched to the cloud without having to relocate them. I have sites configured in Dreamweaver that if I moved those files to the Creative Cloud folder, I would have to reconfigure all those sites. It would just make management of the various Adobe file types easier to have this option.
    Thanks for your help anyways.

  • Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

    I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files.  The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
    For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
    And here is the same file uploaded just now:
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
    The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file.  With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
    This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless.  Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

    On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
    This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/dae50071-9596-44ce-b525-3f52663f8cca
    Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

  • 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.
