Why is my amount of space used different from my Creative Cloud Files Folder size?

Why is my amount of 'space used' different from my Creative Cloud Files Folder size? CC is telling me I'm using 93% (18.6GB of 20GB) but my CC File Folder only contains 13.42GB?  

Have you checked the "Archive" section on the Creative.adobe.com website ?
When you delete the files then they are moved to the "Archive" from where you can delete the content permanently.
Clear the Archive section and then check.

  • Why can't my computer establish a connection to the Creative Cloud file system??

    Hi Folks,
    First of all many thanks to all of you out there who published helpful tutorials or advices.
    Here's my problem:
    I have installed my Creative Cloud successfully and my CC Connector logged in and looked for updates and stuff - all fine. Unfortunately after that the connector gives the status: "No Connection to Creative Cloud!"...
    My internet connection is OK, no local proxy, just Kaspersky Internet Security running etc...
    My aim is to give material to a customer - so what went wrong?
    Technical data:
    OS: Windows 7 ultimate
    PC: Chronos 7 (Samsung)
    connected via LAN
    Please help!

    The file syincing service has been suspended until June 17.
    More info in this blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/update-on-creative-cloud-connection-and-file-sync-pre view/.
    You can still upload files using the web service at https://creative.adobe.com/files and share individual files with the customer.

  • Difference in size of Creative Cloud Files synced folder and online file space used

    Anyone have any idea why Creative Cloud says my space used online is 50% larger than the total file size in my local "Creative Cloud Files" folder?  I've logged in and out of my account, restarted the Creative Cloud app, checked my archive online through the browser, and emptied my archive online.

    I have replied to your private message about resolving this issue.

  • 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?

    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.
    We have taken steps to ensure we increase our focus on quality in this area to prevent a recurrence.
    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.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]
    Again, let me say we are sorry for any inconvenience caused

  • Amount of space used

    3 Part Question - ( 1 ) Using my G5 with iMovie 6.0.3 I have downloading video from a camcorder. I checked the amount of free space left on the hard drive before downloading and it was at 30GB. With just 7 minutes of video downloaded and no extra editing, music or other done to it, it shows now only 23 GB left to use with some more to enter on the same movie.
    How can that be for only 7 mins of video .... When putting a store bought DVD onto the computer to view , it only takes up about 7.4 GB of space on the hard drive for a 2 hour movie .... what am I not understanding ?
    (2) The iMovie shows the amount of time and the remaining space allowed to use , but is there somewhere I can find to actually see the amount of space used to see if the math is correct or there is something else wrong ?
    (3) After I read the response to the above .... and possibly all is in working order ..... is it possible then to use a back up hard drive to make the movie if I don't have sufficient space on the hard drive and then burn it to DVD afterwards on the back up hard drive or do I have to copy it back on the computer if there is enough space. ?
    Thanks, Eric

    Hi
    Manus - Wrong word - Should have spelled "Script".
    1) Your Reply > If You import 1 hour then cut away 53 minutes = 7 min
    it still takes up 13-14GB though it is a non-destructive editor. It doesn't tuch Your import just
    writes a script on what frames to be shown.
    Not really understanding that .. if I cut away 53 mins and then emptied the trash ... should it just use the 2GB of space for the 7 mins I have on I movie .... And what's a "manus " on what frames to be shown .... ?
    No it doesn't help to empty trash. iMovie is a non-destructive editor. All that has been imported
    stays untuched in it's media folder. UNTIL - If You delete ALL - every single frame of an imported
    clip. Delet this and then empty trash. It's gone. BUT if You use only one frame - full import stays.
    To save space one often - export out needed material to a new tape.
    Delete the old import project and starts a new one with material from the new tape.
    3) Back HardDrive to use to make a movie with iMovie .. Your Reply > Has to be Mac Os Extended formatted - Most bought as DOS/FAT32 formatted ? Sorry that's over my head .....
    If You buy an external hard disk it has to be organised in a way called "Formatting" and this is most
    often done for Window PC computers. This way doesn't work when using it with a Mac and especially
    when doing Video works.
    To find out how it is formatted:
    • Connect it to Youre Mac via FireWire (avoid USB/USB2)
    • Select it when it showes up on desktop
    • Press [cmd-i]
    Now You can read how it is structured "formatted".
    If it is empty - You have not start to store anything on it - You can re-formatte it with:
    Apple Disk Util tool (in Applications/Tools)
    Hopfully this has brought any light into your questions.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

    I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
    The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
    I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
    I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

    Also,
    I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

  • HT204264 How do I limit the amount of space used by photos on my phone - now that I turned iCloud on it is taking over my phone

    How do I limit the amount of space used by photos on my phone - now that I turned iCloud on it is taking over my phone

    Hello Maahk,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to optimize your Photos storage. If you are using iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, please read over the information in the attached article. 
    iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting. 
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. 
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I moved my year old emails to my Archive box to save iCloud space, when I did that my space used went from 450mb to 990mb?

    I moved my year old emails to my Archive box to save iCloud space, when I did that my space used went from 450mb to 990mb? Like I doubled the amount in my inbox? only they definitely moved not copied from my inbox.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

    Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

    Hey there Sparkly3gs,
    It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why can't use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?

    why can't I use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?  It's too big for my limited laptop storage.
    Thanks

    Because sync requires to use persistent storage locations. This is out of Adobe's control. It is entirely up to the hardware vendor how he anchors the drive/ volume and integrates it into the file and folder structure.

  • Not Allowed to use Adobe Muse in Creative Cloud trial

    I previously had a month-to-month Adobe Muse subscription and just started the Creative Cloud Trial. Because i had canceled my month-to-month subscription, the Muse application will not let me open files unless I renew my subscription - even though I now have a 1-month trial of Creative Cloud. Is there any way to resolve this so that I can use Muse with this one month trial?
    Thanks in advance

    You will not be able to use Muse as a 30 day trial since you already had a month-to-month subscription of Muse.
    From the Creative Cloud FAQ here http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under General Information:
    If I decide to stop my membership, will I still be able to use my Creative Suite software and the other components of Creative Cloud?
    When you cancel a month-to-month or annual membership purchased directly from Adobe or let a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased from a retailer expire, you will no longer have access to the CS applications, other desktop software, and services that are components of Creative Cloud. However, if you saved your work to your computer, you will continue to have access to those files. You will also have access to the same benefits as a free Creative Cloud member, which include 2GB of storage space (reduced from 20GB), the ability to sync and store your files, access to a free 30-day trial of the desktop software that has not already been installed and provisioned as part of your paid membership, and access to the free level of services included with Creative Cloud.

  • What is the Lightroom web space size? is share creative cloud file spaces?

    What is the Lightroorrreerrffgm web space size? is share creative cloud file spaces?

    Hi Raghuveer,
    Thanks for quick reply.  Sorry, I prefer not to share my designs so I cannot send you my sample of Ai file or screenshots.  I hope you understand. 
    Anyway, I have about 50 to 60 elements used 3D effects and 60 elements used brushes.   And about 20 some elements I defined as pattern swatches (about half of them used gradient). Also, added drop shadow, zigzag effect and accent edges on 5 elements.   And 3 layers filled with patterns (my artboard size is 1220 px W x 1500 px H).  I have my layers/artboard/ color & pattern swatches/ appearance panels opened up when working in Ai.
    I hope this gives you some idea how much I am doing and what I am doing with my Ai file.   And hope that you can advise if there should be problem if doing a lot in one file?  I just cannot stop designing sometimes.
    Added this- I have 18 artboards and 22 layers in my Ai file.  Photoshop doesn't have this problem  when working with a lot of layers, only Illustrator does.
    Thank you very much!!

  • 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.

    Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have?  You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.
