    Thank You for sharing the feedback. We have looked in to this, and from next CCD release onwards, shortcut won't be added to sidebar in finder.

      This is super annoying to me as well.

      I haven't done anything but manually remove it so far. It puts it back after a while every time so far. I'm on a mac so the solution here won't work for me.

        mac:

        copy any important file to another folder and then delete Creative Cloud Files + <account type> + <profile_name> + <email> + <GUID> (for example: Creative Cloud Files Personal Account email@abc.com ####@AdobeID).

         

        default location, Mac HD/Users/<Username>/Creative Cloud Files

         

         

        windows:

        https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/remove-cc-files-folder-shortcut-navigation-panel.html

         

        if that fails, Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) & naviagate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace You'll probably have two sub-keys. OneDrive's sub-key will be nameed '{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6}' Delete the other one, that will be Creative Cloud.
