PSD file previews in Creative Cloud

When I view some of my Photoshop files in Creative Cloud, the file is represented as a generic file icon, not an image preview of the file. Not all of my PSD files do this and I can't figure out why. Has anyone seen this and found a fix?

Any file that can be "viewed" on the web can also be downloaded - officially or unofficially. That's just how browsers work and a fundamental principle of all things web. If you don't want that, you have to generate extra files for "viewing" at reduced quality and with watermarks or protect your files with proper encryption.

How to edit PSD files on Photoshop Creative Cloud

Hi there,
I am new to Creative Cloud and just downloaded the Photoshop App to my desktop. However, I can't seem to find the options where I can edit my psd files. Can someone please help me? I would like to know how I can start editing PSD files on the Photoshop Creative Cloud App.
Thank you so much!

HI Resumeboston16,
Which version of Photoshop are you using? Photoshop CC?
You'll probably still want to save you PSD files locally to the computers hard drive. You can upload them to the Creative Cloud files page here https://creative.adobe.com/files through the browser.
Then you could download it on another computer to work on it there.

Feature Request: TGA image previews in Creative Cloud Files

Feature Request: TGA image previews in Creative Cloud Files (app & web) when browsing files in web and iOS App

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.

This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:

Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

Linked Smart Object breaks a PSD after sync with Creative Cloud

After using a linked Smart Object inside a PSD and sync with Creative Cloud, the online version of file does not preview and does not work with any online feature, like Extract, Layers, or Anything else.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the example Deryck,
The preview seemed broken on the comments tab but the image was appearing for me under the Extract one. When I downloaded the original it looked like the linking was preserved. The online version didn't seem to denote in any way that the Cecinas layer contained a Linked Smart Object, which might be helpful, but it did have the preview. Here are some screenshots of what I was seeing. Thanks for posting about it. I'll pass it on to our engineering department.

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

Am I required to save files to the Creative Cloud, or may I use a local file server?

Am I required to save files to the Creative Cloud, or may I use a local file server for in-office sharing?

You are not required to save files to the Creative Cloud.
The online file storage is merely and an additional service, but there are several benefits:
You file is backed up online in case the file is accidently deleted locally or your hard drive crashes.
Image previews of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files in the web browser for someone who does not have these programs and would otherwise be unable to view the file.
Share the file with someone else allowing them to comment and download.

How do I move my Muse file to the Creative Cloud folder without losing all the links to assets?

I'd like to keep my .muse files in the Creative Cloud folder so they will be accessible from anywhere, and always backed up. But I have many hundreds of links to image assets etc, and am worried that if I move the Muse file to the CC folder the links will be broken.
The links situation with Muse already seems worrying to me — my images are all arranged in folders but Muse seems unable to deal with this properly so can have trouble finding them. So if I move not only the Muse file but all the image files and folders, will Muse still be able to operate, or will I be faced with potentially having to spend many hours manually linking the image files?
Is there a recommended way of arranging assets etc when working with Muse using the Creative Cloud folder?
Thanks

Move from the Creative Cloud to the Muse forum. They will be able to help you here with the issue of Muse finding your images.
The Creative Cloud file storage will do nothing to change any of your files, it will just store them. But you will not be able to make your Muse sight work from within the Creative Cloud.

Idea was to store date in one place. I have subscribed to photographer option

Do you mean you are trying to sync files from Creative Cloud to mobile and it doesn't work? I don't know much about Lightroom. It's better to ask your question at Photoshop Lightroom.

Zoom in to indesign preview in creative cloud

am i missing the zoom buttons?
how will i be able to show a client a preview on creative cloud, and get them to comment without them being able to read the text?
if i upload an indesign page layout, and share it with someone, they cant read small text without downloading the document (thus requiring indesign) is this correct?

Hi Dave!
I am a Webdesigner and would love to show clients a full rez crisp view of there sites. The canvas is generally very large for GUI mockups. A 100% zoom would be soooo helpful. In fact I cant currently show my designs through creative cloud for this reason. I totally agree with aurelien-foutoyet This would be an amaizing feature for web and typography designers.
Thanks,
Jared

Synchronize Files error on Creative Cloud desktop

Hi there,
I can't synchronize anymore my files with the creative cloud Desktop.
I am running Creative Cloud Windows 8.1 64 bits. My OS and my softwares are uptodate. I think it's since 1 or two CC Desktop update that i can't synchronize files anymore. Fonts are still synchronized.
I've tryed evrything i could:
     -remove and reinstall CC desktop
     -stop synchronize, star again
     -place the folder to default location
     -no file in the folder
And even with no files in it it can't synchronize lol
When i remove and re-install it works fine, i can put files and it's synchronize well. But when i re-start my comp it show "error can't synchronize"
At work I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bits CC Team and it works fine. The only difference is my Anti virus, F-secure at work, Avast at home.
I Hope you've got some ideas for me..
Cheers

I agree... a late evening talk would be better than chat. I think I'll have to give a call next week and hopefully talk to someone that I can explain the situation.
Right now CC is working okay with exception of the files and fonts.. I'm enjoying the latest software and can see all the apps and able to install as needed. I've just recently explored the other features. Such as storing files in the cloud account.
I thought it would be easy. The website uploaded them fine and a few test files are there but I just don't see them in the CC desktop app. Also the "Turn File and Font Sync OFF" in the dropdown at
top of the app looks the same. It won't toggle when clicked on.
It's hard to determine what is current information sometimes that I'm reading on forums. I have seen where the files feature is not available yet but I'm just not sure if that was from the past or still not working. There should be a page that you can go to that is the very most up to date information and maybe there is but I haven't found it.
I was able to get Typekit font account and for a moment I thought that was going to work. It showed under Fonts in the CC app on my desktop but that's all it did was show up. The moment I tried to retrieve a font through clicking it then everything under Font disappeared and now when I click the Fonts tab it's a blank white window with the wheel spinning in the center like it's loading.
One last thing regarding the files syncing. I believe there is suppose to be a folder on your computer that it creates and that's where the files are on your computer that match those in the cloud storage. I can't find that folder on my computer. I've done a search but no folder. I'm on Windows 7. Might still go back to that feature not being available though and just part of that.
If I find something out useful I'll let you know. I'll call on Monday if I can.
Thanks for the reply.

Installation file cleanup. Creative Cloud

Installation file cleanup. Creative Cloud has installed many files that i do not need is there an easy way to get rid of them?
Such as the user agrement in 15 differant languages
I want a lean and mean computer without all of the crap.
Also can i just install the 64 bit apps when both are downloaded ie photoshop 32 and photoshop64?
I followed the directions on reinstalling encore and now i also have bridge cs6 with bridge cc.
This is a bad way to run software company.

To find all the crap, start with all the 64 bit applications in C:\Program Files\Adobe like AE, Au, BR, FL, IL, etc. They all contain directories named:
AMT
AMT Languages
dict
Legal
LM Resources
Locales
OBL Res
Resources
zDictionaries
or similar names. Some of these directories are hidden in other directories, so you may have to drill down a bit and be careful not to delete stuff like .XML files or icon files. Nearly all the language related subdirectories and files in there can be deleted, I only left en_GB and en_US in place, because I only use the English US version. Note that not all applications have the exact same directory structure or contain the exact same files.
Now move to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and repeat the above steps for all Adobe applications.
Next step is to repeat this for C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe and for C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe again. I know it is tedious work, but you free more than 2 GB of space.
For ages I have filed feature requests to use a common depository for all the legal documents and languages to be used by all Adobe applications, whether you have only one or all applications and to limit the number of languages to only the OS language, the Adobe language of choice and possibly the locale in the keyboard settings, instead of all 44 languages. One could even add a check box option to select more languages if one desires.

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.
