I'm getting conflicting files in my Creative Cloud files folder

Hi, I need some help understanding what is happening with the sync feature in creative cloud.
I'm currently working on a project from the office, leave work come home and work again at night with the same file.
My understanding is that I will be working on the same file because cc will sync the file to the last saved version. But instead I'm having the original file and another 2-3 version of the file with (Conflicted copy from %COMPUTERNAME% on 2013-11-01) added to the name.
The problem is that you have to search and make sure you are working on the last version of the file, in addition to the confusion, risk and the hassle of renaming files.
Can I fix this with some setup? am I doing something wrong or this is an Adobe problem??
Please any help is appreciated

Make sure you signed in with same email address on your Computer, website and Ipad.
To check
Open Creative Cloud App and Click Gear icon on the top Right corner, then open preferences.
Click on accounts.
Also make sure you have enough space in your cloud account
If the email address is same then check.

It seems Josh was unaware you are on a mac. Here was the solution I found.

Why can't I see image thumbnails of my .psdx files in my Creative Cloud Connection folder?

I am saving my projects to my Creative Cloud account and use the CC Connection. My .psdx files appear in my CC Connection folder as icons, not as image thumbnails. What am I doing wrong?

Btw, which OS are you using?
PSDX files might not be supported by the OS for a preview if that's what you mean about preview.
E.g. I cannot see the previews of PSD files either on a Windows desktop.
thanks,
Ignacio

Password protect files and folders Creative Cloud Files

I know this feature has been requested a number of times, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the ability to password protect files and folders for sharing purposes is in the works? It appears to be a glaring omission to me, particularly as Adobe's vision for the Creative Cloud encompasses the corporate world, where security is obviously of great importance.
Any news would be welcome.
Best regards
Liam

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?

No preview for InDesign Creative Cloud Files

I uploaded a number of files to the "Creative Cloud Files" folder on my computer, then went to creative.adobe.com Files section to view them.
Illustrator and Photoshop files display properly with a preview, color swatches, layer control, etc.
But InDesign files display as a blank icon, no color swatches and cannot be paged through.
They can be downloaded and opened just fine, so they are not corrupt or anything.
Here's a link to one of my InDesign (.indd) documents that is not showing a preview: http://adobe.ly/TRcWZN
I know this is supposed to work with InDesign files.
I have seen a few examples of people being able to page through an InDesign file.
Here's one: https://creative.adobe.com/share/e86a3bf2-fd5f-41a0-8be8-c4a7aff131cb
Does anybody know why I am unable to preview these InDesign files? Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I also seem to have this problem. Here’s a link to a file created in InDesign 2014 (10.0.0.70) which the web shows as a blank icon.

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.

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.

Our team cannot see shared and sync'd files in our Creative Cloud account. How can we fix this?

The team members are logged in, have loaded a test file in the Creative Cloud Files directory, uploaded them to the Cloud and made the files public, but we cannot see them in the web browser under "Creative Cloud Files".
The files seem to be there because we can send an email with a link to the files and can see them through the linke, just not in the browser.
What might we be doing wrong?

Folder sharing is not available yet. It is being worked on.
So currently a file is owned by one Adobe ID. That Adobe ID can create a public sharing link to that file. Anyone can access this link whether or not they are signed in with an Adobe ID.

Vanessa,
You will have to try to force an update: you should have 18.1.1.
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
You may try the instructions here:
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-version-control.html
Or you may try a chat,
Creative Cloud support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues, chat open between 5AM and 7PM PST/PDT on workdays)
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html
or Adobe phone Support,

The chat should be available in about 4 hours. They are a bit behind the rest of us over there.

I have had a file disappear from creative cloud and then the name get reassigned to a different file.

I have had a file disappear from creative cloud and then the name get reassigned to a different file. How do I retrieve the missing file?

If a file with the same name is saved again then a version is created. You can see versions from the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. From the Files page click on the file to go to its page. Switch from the Details tab to the Activity tab if needed. You will see the Current Version and any past versions.

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.
