Why have Cloud Assets if I can't add the files to libraries?

Made a whole nice folder suite of logos and icons and palates for my team but thats all it is, a cloud folder. I/we all have access to the same thing in a gdrive cloud folder.

Did i miss the point of libraires? Should they have just be grabbing files and using them in their own CC Apps?

So are CC Cloud files only that, cloud files. The team can drop those into their design program, and then add them to their own library? thanks for any more clarification, I can't find any recent help topics except for like 2014 when adobe CC was first going and they said that integration was in the works..

Hi Andrew,

Creative Cloud Files in the Assets Website is a cloud storage solution and it will behave the same as gdrive.

A Library is a special type of Asset that behaves as a container where you can put elements such as the ones you described in your message.

Right now the Assets website only allows you to view your Libraries. If you want to create a Library you need to create it from an Application.

1.- Open an application
2.- Open the Libraries Panel
3.- In the drop down of Libraries you can select to create a new Library
4.- Open the folder with all your colors, icons, etc.
5.- Select the files and Drag/Drop them into the panel
6.- Share the Library with you team

This will allow you to access the content of a Library within the context of the application, and you will have the option to retain the linkage between the graphics you use and the graphics in your Library.

I hope this is helpful,
Best,
Fernando
