Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday. Downgraded cloud storage allowance to 2GB and data directories on hard drive messed up.

Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday.
After the update it seems to have downgraded my business account to free creative cloud, I say this because my data allowance in the adobe cloud has been reduced from 20Gb to 2Gb - My last  monthly payment was taken as normal so it is not a non-payment issue. This is a problem since I have over 5Gb currently stored.  Following the update, as the creative cloud indicated synching in progress but I could see the allowance reduced to 2GB I paused the synch for fear of loss of my critical work data. There now seems to be an issue in the Adobe bridge, with two directories on my hard drive. One is called Creative Cloud (Unkown) with an old creation date which seems to contain all my data. The other directory is called Creative Cloud but only contains about a tenth of the data and was created subsequent to the update of the Creative Cloud application.
So I have 2 issues to resolve:
1 - Adobe - please tell me why my cloud allowance is reduced to 2GB. My account payments are up to date so please do something about this.
2 - How do I safely handle the data directories so that the synch can continue without data loss?
Thanks

  • How much Creative Cloud storage comes with Student and Teacher Edition?

    Hi!
    I work for the art college called the Maryland Institute College of Art, and I was recently asked a question that I don't have the answer for.
    Basically, I'm wondering why my (and the student who asked me) only show 2 GBs of possible storage in our Creative Cloud accounts, when I believe that we should be getting 20 GB with the licensing agreement that MICA has signed up for.
    If somebody could help me understand what's going on here, that would be fantastic.

    I found out that the standard student/teacher edition has 20GB of storage: Amazon.com: Adobe Student & Teacher Edition Creative Cloud [Digital Membership]: Software

  • Is Creative Cloud storage a good solution if multiple people have to work on a file?

    I am trying to use Creative Cloud storage so that, for instance, a colleague can open an inDesign file from their own workstation, make some simple text edits, and re-save it.
    If everyone involved has desktop syncing, is this a workable way to use Creative Cloud Storage? Does syncing work so that the Could Storage would update my local version? Or would I have to download the latest version each time, then work on it, then re-sync?
    If this isn't a good way to go about things, does anyone have a better suggestion?
    Thank you.

    Hi Callofthegame,
    One could share a file with others, but each user would have their own copy for their account (which they could in turn share back to others if they wanted). So it wouldn't be a single instance of the file being edited by multiple individuals. Adobe Drive might be closer to what you are looking for - http://www.adobe.com/products/adobedrive.html?promoid=JIKTG
    Hope that helps,

  • Problems with Creative Cloud storage (again!)

    I am having problems when uploading files to Creative Cloud storage. Some of the files go - some don't, and are flagged 'Unable to Sync'. I have had this problem for some time and have stopped using CC sync, but I thought I would give it another go the other day, and still no luck. The files that are reported as being a problem seem fine - no issue with the names, or anything that I can see.
    I spent almost an hour on the phone to technical support about this issue about a week ago and the guys I was speaking to (I kept being pushed on to someone else) didn't seem to have any idea. They just kept going through all my security questions and then put me on hold whilst they asked someone more knowledgeable. They would then come back on and pass me to someone else (more security questions) until eventually the last guy I spoke to said he didn't know the answer and an Adobe representative would contact me in 24 to 48 hours. Not a very impressive turn around for customer support - even less so since it is now a week later and still no call. Let's face it. I'm not going to get a response from Adobe.
    As a test, I tried uploading the same files to DropBox. Not very technical perhaps, but I just reasoned that if there were problems with one system, they should show up on the other. Imagine. They uploaded to DropBox no problem.
    So the technical fix is forget Creative Cloud storage and use DropBox. Okay, you have to pay for a reasonable amount of storage, but if you depend on your files for your business, it's worth it.
    I'm worried though. I'm a big fan of Adobe, and have been using their products for years but am getting concerned that, should I have any problem with any of their CC products their support will be minimal (if I'm lucky) or non-existant (as seems more likely).
    As a little extra comment, I have emptied out my CC Storage files (and the archived files) and yet the CC system still says I have 528MB stored - although there is nothing there. I had this once before and the Adobe technical guy reset the system - but it's back!
    HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! I just opened my CC storage in a browser and tried to drag and drop the troublesome files directly. And it worked! So maybe the problem is with the CC app. (I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it numerous times). So dragging and dropping is a fix, but not very practical since you cannot drag and drop folders, so you have to create all the folders in the browser version and then drag the files as required.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Woah - Ok so sometimes it's the simplest answer we overlook -- HOW TO MOVE YOUR FILES FROM COMPUTER TO ADOBE CLOUD -- EASILY
    (for windows users)
    1 - Start menu
    2 - Go to Computer - OS ( C:)  - Users  - "Your Name"
    3 - You should see here - the folders you need - Creative Cloud Files - and also - My Docs, My Pics, etc -- The app will not allow this task - windows will
    4 - Right click on the source folder - (Pics, docs)
    5 - Select copy
    6 - Right click on Creative Cloud Files
    7 - Select Paste
    This will transfer all files in that library to the Adobe Cloud folder and allow them to be synced to the cloud
    Hopefully this will save some folks the Head - desks it caused me.

  • Creative Cloud storage on mobile device?

    Is it possible to view/access files from your creative cloud storage on a mobile device i.e. smartphone, tablet? If so how do you do it?

    houbly14,
    Yes it is. You need to simply login to CC website from any of the browser present on your device.
    Hope that helps!

    Hi,
    How much creative cloud storage can I purchase in addition to the existing 20Gb & what are the various plans & fees?
    Regards,
    Iain.

    Individual CC allocates 20GB of space. If you want more space you can buy CC for Team with one seat as each seat provides you 100 GB of space.

  • Can my design colleagues use Bridge to connect to my Creative Cloud storage?

    I work with other designers who consume my work, Illustrator and Photoshop files, into InDesign. Is it possible for them to add my Creative Cloud storage to their Bridge so that I can publish and they can link to my work directly from there?

    Great idea but this is not currently possible. Improved sharing and collaboration features are on the roadmap.
    Feel free to create an Idea detailing what you would like to see. If you have not created an Idea before you can do so from the New menu. Other customers can then vote on your Idea and add their feedback to it.

  • Turning off Creative CLoud storage

    I have 1TB with Dropbox, as all our files are there. Can I use Creative Cloud soley for the apps, and de-activate any file storage?

    No need to deactivate Cloud storage. Just don't use it. It's there if you ever need it but its use is not mandatory or automatic.
    I use Dropbox instead of Cloud storage myself.

  • I need to delete Creative Cloud software from my PC and install on a new iMac.  What do I do first?

    I have had a Creative Cloud membership for several years and have installed all the related software on my PC.  I recently purchased an iMac and will be decomissioning my old PC.  What steps do I need to take to deactivate and unistall the software on the PC so I can install on the iMac?  I will be wiping the C drive in the old PC when I have moved everything I need to the Mac.
    Also, I will be installing Parallels on my iMac and installing Windows 7 Ultimate as well, so the I can install Windows only programs I use that are not available for the Mac.  Are there any Windows versions of the Adope Create Cloud software that don't have a Mac equivalent?  Does it matter if I use virtual vs. bootcamp?
    Thanks!

  • How To Uninstall Photoshop CC (2014) from Creative Cloud (not listed in Program and Features)

    My membership for Creative Cloud has expired and I want to uninstall Photoshop CC 2014 from my system.
    The ONLY Adobe application listed under 'Program and Features' (Windows 8.1) is the Adobe Creative Cloud, however when I uninstall that all the Adobe Photoshop and Bridge system files remain. When double clicking on photoshop.exe (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\photoshop.exe)  I get the Creative Cloud 'Renew your Subscription' screen.  After then rebooting and reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop, it shows that Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), and Bridge CC are installed and are all 'up to date'
    I have searched everywhere on my system for photoshop uninstall files without success.
    Please advise how to delete/uninstall all applications installed by Adobe Creative Cloud when the applications are not listed in the Control Panel 'Programs and Features'

    Thank you for the link. I don't want to sound rude, but I said the programs installed by Creative Cloud Desktop are NOT listed in Windows Control Panel's  'Programs and Features'. The link provided is useless.
    The only Adobe software listed under 'Program and Features' ('Add or Remove Programs' for Windows XP users) is the Creative Cloud Desktop program itself and when uninstalling that, it does NOT uninstall Photoshop CC (2014) or Adobe Bridge CC. When selecting uninstall for Creative Cloud, no Change options are provided to remove Photoshop CC. Uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop leaves all Photoshop and Bridge system files intact.
    Again, I want to uninstall Photoshop CC that was installed by Creative Cloud Desktop and is NOT listed under Program and Features.

    How do I uninstall creative cloud on my old laptop and  reinstall creative cloud on my new laptop?

    There is no need to uninstall on the old machine, but you can sign out thru the CC Manager if you like and then uninstall like you would any other software (depends on your operating system).
    To install on the new machine repeat what you did originally with the old machine...
    Download/install the desktop application, sign in, install the subscription application(s).

    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.
