Photoshop elements online storage

I do not want your online storage. I have my own backup solutions, and the last thing i need is another subscription fee to forget about. Every time I load Photoshop Elements, I am first confronted with a window telling me to buy more storage. I will NEVER buy your storage. This sales pitch is highly annoying and unprofessional.
My question is, how do I disable online storage? Somehow during the install process, Photoshop Elements chose to backup my pictures. It quickly hit the 2gb cap (google offers free 5gb, as does dropbox, and ubuntu ONE, and others I am sure).  Now every time I start, I get a warning that my storage is full, and the only solution offered is for me to buy more storage.
I cannot for the life of me find out how to disable the online storage. I go into the preferences, and find the "Elements Backup/Synchronization Services", wherein I see a single option.  The box for "Backup/Sync" has been unchecked. I see no other way of adjusting the state of backup.
What I expected was for Elements to create a folder in My Pictures, which would contain files i want to backup. This is how Google Drive, Dropbox, and others work.  Something tells me that Adobe, in its infinite wisdom, has obfuscated this data.
One solution I have come up with is to delete Elements, delete my adobe account, and then reinstall without entering my details.

I figured it out. The answer is to ignore all the links Photoshop Elements offers. None of them lead to the right page. Go to photoshop.com and re-enter your credentials there. Within this page, you can "organize my library". Contrary to what it says, this only affects your online library. In an effort to milk the Instagram trend, photoshop has created a confusing roundabout way of sharing photos. Apparently the miriad ways of sharing photos which have been tried and tested over the past decade are, in Adobes eyes, insufficient. Clearly, the world needs yet another medium by which to share photos. Apparently Adobe realized millions of people were viewing pictures without recieving their sales pitch.
Anyhow, once I found my online library, I was able to delete it with relative ease. I considered downloading copies of these pictures just in case the originals had been corrupted or lost. Fortunately Adobe made that simple by denying me access. If I want to download the pictures which legally belong to me, I have to pay adobe for some kind of premium account.
It is no wonder adobe products have been among the top pirated software over the past decade.

  • Photoshop elements additional storage

    How do I purchase additional storage for Photoshop Elements?

    Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.
    RPollero what service exactly are you trying to purchase additional storage for?

  • J'ai acheté Photoshop Elements online hier mais me suis rendue compte trop tard que j'avais pris la version Windows au lieu de MAC.

    Bonjour,
    J'ai acheté Photoshop Elements hier mais j'ai acheté la mauvaise version. Cela fait deux jours que j'essaie de joindre le service ADOBE mais c'est une vraie catastrophe! Hier personne ne répondait, aujourd'hui j'ai eu deux personnes avec une voix robot au téléphone qui étaient à peine audible et la dernière mais tout bêtement raccroché au nez.
    Comment doit-on faire pour échanger un produit acheté qui n'a pas encore été télécharger?
    Aussi, j'aimerais upgrader mon CS5 vers CS6 mais là aussi c'est la crois et la bannière de savoir comment le faire. Les FAQ's online disent que c'est possible mais après faut trouver où le faire .. et franchement, je ne trouve pas du tout?
    C'est scandaleux qu'une grande marque comme Adobe ait un service aussi mauvais!!!
    Est-ce que quelqu'un veut bien m'aider svp?
    Vous en remerciant d'avance

    Bonjour,
    Le client ne sait pas faire la différence entre Mac OS et Windows, le client achète n'importe quoi, le client change d'avis immédiatement, et c'est le "service" qui est mauvais…
    En tout cas, c'est au Service clientèle qu'il faut s'adresser, ici c'est un forum d'utilisateurs.
    Le service de Chat est très réactif : http://www.adobe.com/fr/company/contact.html

  • Photoshop Elements 7 reinstall "invalid serial number"

    I purchased PSE 7 in 2010. The computer I had it installed on crashed. I have installed the program on my new laptop. When I get to the point of entering the serial number it says the number is invalid. I use the number provided on the back of the original box. Adobe support offers no help. What do I do?

    Do you have a serial number, or do you have a redemption code to GET a serial number?

  • Bought upgrade for Photoshop Elements 12 - original 'Elements' was v. 1 - license number not accepted and Adobe not answering help

    I have entered the 24 character licence from v.1 of Photoshop Elements and the Upgrade to v.12 says it isn't valid.
    When I regestered v.1, I was living in NY and used a different userid (and I told adobe about this). When I try to reregister v.1,
    Adobe tells me it is already registered. I asked for help on Friday, June 27, and I still haven't received a response from Adobe.
    What can I do so I can start using v. 12?
