P: Creating Directories in Inappropriate Locations ~/Documents

Any update on this - it really is annoying.

I'm certainly not suggesting that ALL the adobe engineers work on this, i'm suggesting one or two. And I have 3 folders, so having one extra upsets the balance. At this point it's on principal, they shouldn't be creating folders the main user dialogue and after 9 years one would think an issue that has so many comments would at least have garnered adobes attention. And the $600 refers to all of the creative suites, of which Lightroom and photoshop both have this issue. SO if I were to use Lightroom, I'd have 2 empty unusable irritating folders.

The issue I had, was that Lightroom did not start if ~/Documents did not exist. It silently crashed without a notice. No idea if this still is the case.

~/Documents folder is a part of the cloud folder, that Adobbe "engineers" don't know that Mac OS has special places to be used for application specific files.

It is about engineering culture, not to trash user space with a files that users don't need. Instead of blame users suggest Adobbe to read Developers Guidelines.

Oh I'm totally ANAL about a clean Mac, my desktop has 8 folders in neat rows, and I run the Clean Up command regularly! You can't call one more folder inside Documents "messy" (unless you are even more ANAL than me?) I SUPPOSE that's possible, but the saying "let the small stuff slide" saves my sanity!

A week of all the Adobe engineers' time is a ton of money for Adobe to spend on something that bothers 10 people.

$600/year? $9.99 X 12 is $119.88/year for the Photography Plan. I remember buying the whole Creative Cloud CDs for all my Mac employees, at several companies, at $1000/employee! And 4 years later you'd have to do it again, so $119.88 is a bargain!

I totally agree with Allison here, I do not like clutter on my computer that I can't change. Not only does Apple clearly state that applications shouldn't be doing this, but when it comes to 9 years of the same feedback, you would think, being that this isn't a big fish to fry, that it would take maybe a week to fix this issue. An issue that many people over many years over many applications have complained about. Especially when people have been paying $600 a year to use it. 

*carlos_cardona The user should decide what files and folders they put in Documents folder. Not applications. 

Perhaps you don't mind a messy mac. To each their own. Some people don't mind having 50 stray files and folders all over their desktop either. However, other people like me prefer to have a clean and neat mac. I work better without extraneous junk and clutter. 

The folder Adobe creates on my Mac's Document folder is "Creative Cloud Files", which contains one stray PSD file. Seriously, this is what bothers you? Seems like a COMPLETELY trivial issue to me (25-year Mac IT Pro career), since it causes NO HARM. Adobe has bigger fish to fry!
