Mac OS X: How to turn off network usage when using a mobile hotspot/roaming?
Hi,
Recently I found that Adobe Creative Cloud does not respect the "Low Data Mode" network setting and downloads gigabytes of data through the background processes, which is very frustrating when travelling between countries and using a international roaming for network usage.
The problem persists even when I choose to quit the Creative Cloud from the menu in the top right corner. The only way to actually kill all the processes I found was to use the following in the terminal:
sudo pkill -9 -f Adobe
It asks you for your password and then kills all the processes that mention Adobe in the name (be aware that it will kill any open Adobe applications as well).
Only after that, my laptop stopped downloading things.
Is there any other way to prevent these unexpected downloads? Is there a setting or a workaround to temporarily turn off the data usage?
Ideally Adobe should respect the network setting by default, but while we wait for a fix, maybe there are other ways to do it.
