When I edit files on my desktop, do they automatically update in my Creative Cloud files online?

I do not have Creative Cloud for my desktop (I use OS 10.6.8, do not plan on upgrading anytime soon...) I work on my files on my desktop and save them there, but also like to have a back up in my cloud membership that I log in to online. When I make changes and save my files on my desktop, do I have to re-upload them to the cloud files online? Or do they sync automatically?

If you do have the Creative Cloud app in the future then yes you can sync new files, and sync updates to existing files that are in the Creative Cloud Files folder.

Can I move files in Lightroom, and I have 5.5 to my Creative Cloud File in Lightroom?

Moving files in Lightroom...

No moving of files is needed.
Just launch the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom. It should find your existing LR 5.5 catalog and make use of it; if it does not happen automatically, in the CC version of LR use File->Open Catalog

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.

Why do I have 3 'Creative Cloud Files' folders?

Hello! I have a question about the Creative Cloud folder structure/syncing.
I installed the Creative Cloud Desktop application on my MacBook Pro and then installed the following programs: Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro.
Once I had done that I switched 'file sync' on in the Desktop Application bar.
I noticed that I have three different areas called 'Creative Cloud Files' and one of these folders is called 'Creative Cloud Files Unknown' [see screenshot below].
Does anyone know why there are three separate locations? Which area am I supposed to save my files in so that I can sync them with the cloud? Can I delete the one that says 'unknown' in the file name? I assume that the folder listed in the Favourites Bar is the same place as the 'Creative Cloud Files' folder in my account?

Targeted erase of Creative Cloud Files on my hard drive.

Hi,
All my Creative Cloud files have been deleted off my Macbook.
Interestingly enough, it was only the files inside the Creative Cloud folder, nothing else was touched.
My main client folders are still viewable, but all content within are gone.
YI can sync to the cloud and pull all my files, but I had been working without a internet and some files weren't synced.
So i'm going to have to play catch up over the weekend. Im slightly annoyed that ONLY my CC folder was effected. Everything else was untouched.
Has anyone had this issue? Is it related to CC's security? Some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dominic

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.

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. 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,
Frank

Why do my Creative Cloud files look blurry and bad when previewing them?

PDF, PNGs, AI and PSDs all look like very poor quality, compressed JPGs when viewing on Creative Cloud files website or in the iPad app. You can even see the low quality JPG-like compression artifacts all over the files. Nothing is sharp. Would really like to be able to use the cloud to preview files to clients, but the quality is just not usable. Would like to know if others experience this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The thumbnails are fine. The problems start when I click on the thumbnails to view the photos. See my long comment above. Thank you.
I meant the mismatch between thumbnails and photos, sorry. In addition to broken rotation tags, that Winston Churchill pointed out, the database entries with the applied adjustments may have become corrupted. Repairing the database will at least ensure, that the database entries are correct.
Are you shooting RAW? Then consider tor reprocess your RAW files. The Help recommends that, if your photos have been edited in another app, for example iPhoto.
Reprocess imported RAW files
If you import RAW files that were already processed by another app, such as Aperture, the RAW processing of the photos might be out of date. If you’re happy with how a RAW photo looks, you can leave it as is, or you can choose to reprocess the RAW file with the most recent version of Apple’s RAW processing software. Note that your photos may look different after reprocessing, and you cannot undo this change.
Double-click a photo to open it, click Edit in the toolbar, then choose Image > Reprocess RAW.

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

In Creative Cloud files when I update my INDD file all my sharers lose access to the updated

In Creative Cloud files when I update my INDD file and export the pdf file all the share links are lost . All my sharers lose access to the updated file. This does not happen at dropbox where when I update a file the share links still work. This is a real nuisance as I want to up date files and keep the link open. Is there a workaround?

I just had similar experience where I lost links to my files in creative cloud. There was an update to creative cloud today and my creative cloud on PC was replaced with a new one. I went to my User Account and found two Creative Cloud Accounts: "Creative Cloud" and "Creative Cloud (unknown)". The "Creative Cloud (unknown)" is where I found my linked files. Check to see if you now have two creative accounts on your PC. This may be the reason????
I am currently copying and pasting all my files into the current "Creative Cloud" from the "Creative Cloud (unknown)". I am only focusing on 1 InDesign Doc I have due to tomorrow and had to manually reset all the links to it. If I have to manually restore all links to my files saved in Creative Cloud--I will blow a gasket on Monday! All PDF files (interactive ones especially) I have saved have lost their links--I don't even want to look at or deal with right now.

Posts are duplicating like bunnies when I edit them in Posterous since the latest Beta Update??? wtf?

When I go to edit any post on my [http://whatgetsmehot.posterous.com Posterous] blog, the html and media including photos and videos are duplicating like bunnies if i do any editing (like going from rich format to html and back) all since the latest Beta Update??? And after that it will crash because it has multiplied anywhere from 4X to ?X times.
I submitted a crash report today but i didn't save the info
I've, of course, done all the usual (or i wouldn't be here). Cleared Cache multiple times...there were some funky warnings coming from the error page thing about co-something or other and this is what i have tonight: Warning: Error in parsing value for 'background-image'. Declaration dropped.
which i realize is nothing...
I have never heard of this at all.
Btw, I uninstalled all my addons and am running on nothing but what comes with my Windows XP and from FF.
Any thoughts?

Please advise as to Why it would work on an older OS X version as oppose to the newer OS X Yosemite
Thanks
JP

Thanks Lyra,
I may be doing something wrong because looking at the "Purchased" in iBooks I only see all the books that I actually purchased, none of the iBooks that I created in iBooks Author shows up. I can re-download all the iBooks I've purchased and some in iCouds, but the ones I've created in iBooks Author are no where to be found.
Any help is much appreciated,

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.

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:
