Moving items from a Library to the HD

Question

Hello, I am currently collaborating with some folks with the use of a Library. The problem is, I need to start uploading images from this Library to my website CMS, but right now I am unable to actually get to the files. I can't drag items from the Library to my desktop (or any other folder in Finder), and when I right click and try "Copy to" (as the Adobe help website says to do), I am only able to move the files to other cloud-based libraries, not my HD.

I am also unable to use the Export function as the buttons are all grayed out while an image in a Library is selected. Should I just switch to using a regular folder on a network drive? It doesn't seem like Bridge is meant for this type of collaboration. 😞

Thank you. Unfortunately that doesn't cover this issue with Bridge but it did lead me to a workaround. You can copy and paste Library items from Adobe Creative Cloud.

On the plus side this means I can stop opening and re-exporting the images in Photoshop. But this also means that Bridge is missing a critical feature of copy/pasting library images.

Does this Help page get you any closer? You will need to download items as needed if you are not working within Adobe apps.https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/libraries.html
