Even More Optimisation Save Files & Cache Temp/ Files

Hi, i’m Renaldy a freelancer working with limited storage capacity, I'm requesting for Adobe implement intelligent cache management and storage optimization features. Current cache systems can consume 5-10x the original file size, creating unsustainable storage demands. With SSD/HDD prices skyrocketting because of AI, hardware upgrades aren't always feasible.

with help from claude, let me deliver our suggestion for Save files & Cache Temp/ Files optimization:
 

1. Intelligent Cache Management

• Adaptive cache sizing: Automatically scale cache based on available storage (e.g., if <50GB free, limit cache to possible performance (like in photoshop with Web/ Photos/ Huge pixel option) instead of each users manually choose what they think is best)
• Priority-based cache: Keep cache for active layers/effects; compress or purge cache for unused elements
• User-defined cache limits: Set maximum cache per project or application-wide

2. Optimized Save File Options

• Smart linking toggle: Prompt users to link large assets instead of embedding (with easy re-embedding if needed)
• Compression profiles: Offer "storage-optimized" save presets that use efficient compression without quality loss
• Proxy workflow improvements: Better integration for working with lightweight proxies

3. Storage Monitoring & Warnings

• Real-time storage dashboard: Show current file size, cache size, and projected storage needs
• Proactive warnings: Alert users before storage becomes critical (e.g., "Your cache will fill remaining storage in 15 minutes")
• Quick cleanup tools: One-click cache optimization without closing applications

4. Cross-Application Cache Sharing

• Unified cache pool: Allow multiple Adobe apps to share a common cache allocation
• Smart purging: Automatically purge oldest/least-used cache when storage is tight

and that’s my feature request for storage/ cache files/ temp optimization. i hope this help adobe to aware that their users is not only using with the best setup possible to operate Adobe app
