I want to have all my files in the cloud but I don't want to sync them all to my desktop computer. I want to be able to sync only the files I need for the projects I'm actively working on.
I primarily work on my desktop with a 3TB hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro I take with me to teach and present., it has a 256GB hard drive. To keep the laptop “clean” I have to keep my creative cloud empty and I use drop box for everything. My 1TB of space in my CC account is worthless without selective sync. In 2014 we could selectively sync. Having this be unusable saves the load on Adobe servers but it also means no one is paying an extra $10 a month to upgrade plans for more space.
Just upgraded to the 1TB plan because I needed some more space for a shared project. Then realized I can't sync more than 150GB because that is how much additional space I have on my laptop. I don't want to have to turn off sync just because one folder is large. After doing some research it blows my mind that some form of Selective Sync has not been resolved! This is a staple of all other cloud based storage systems.
I must say I'm completely astonished that this is not a basic feature. When I look at the various threads it's been on the "to do" list for several years. Sigh.
Does Adobe wonder why we look to others for our solutions?
My team doesn't have the hard drive space to sync all of our files. Selective sync would be huge because we could still share our entire library without the burden of our hard drives being eaten up by the files we don't need to sync.
