Unable to download files

I am no longer able to download my Fresco or Photoshop files from the Creative Cloud desktop app which I have been doing without issue for 6 months or so.

 

Downloading files no longer works in the web browser based Creative Cloud either.

 

Both respond by "Downloading local copy of...." for a good 10 minutes at least before simply stopping with no prompt or warning.

 

I am able to export any files from Adobe Fresco/Photshop to my iCloud account without any issue.

 

Have tried restarting, signing out, quitting and restarting, different browsers and computers etc.

 

I have used only of 20.2GB my 1TB in storage.

 

Any suggestions or workarounds (beside the one I have) would be appreciated.

Hi Kglad -
 
I was waiting for a call from an Adobe rep when I tested files that wouldn't download yetserday. They all downloaded just fine.
 
The Adobe rep then confirmed they had fixed something on their end, so I hope that is the end of that.

Hi kglad -
Thanks for the suggestion - no difference after resetting the app.

I got an email from Adobe after initiating an investigation:

I'll post the conclusion of the investigation when I get it...

ok, understood.

 

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

after the reset, in the cc desktop app, click the files tab > select an asset > download.  any problem?

"I am able to export any files from Adobe Fresco/Photshop to my iCloud account without any issue."

 

That is my workaround to Creative Cloud  not functioning properly. It demonstrates that there is no connection or browser/platform issue.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

your op is confusing because it mentions icloud.

Thanks, but per my orginal post, the issue has been replicated across different browsers, computers and platforms.

 

I have no issues with any other Adobe products or downloads.

 

Not sure how these links would help?
