Adobe is discontinuing file syncing!

What are we supposed to do instead?

I use this feature ALL THE TIME. It has been great!

I am so sad it is going away. The only supported files on the Files section of the Creative Cloud are Cloud formats! SO BAD!

What are you all doing to work remotely? 

This will be such a time suck. 

Please share what you are doing  and thank you!

Does anyone have a good solution to this problem?
I am SO UNHAPPY about this decision, I can not even tell you.

Please help!

@ACWaters,

Oh puh-leeez!

Q: What does automatic sync between your Creative Cloud Files folder & your Cloud Storage space have to do with Dreamweaver? 

A: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

 

You can still save Creative Cloud Files manually to your Cloud Storage if desired.

You still have the same Cloud Storage capacity.  

What's the big tragedy? 

Please explain why you're SO UNHAPPY.

Not really specific or a solution, but Adobe has a long and dismal history of rolling out adjunct features, then either abandoning them half-developed or actively discontinuing them. I could probably list ten without pausing for a sip of coffee.

 

It is a very poor idea to base your entire workflow, shop operation or business on any of these "sidebar" functions. As a wise old revolutionary once put it, "Anything you get free ends up costing more than it's worth... but you often don't find that out until later."

 

In this case, though, there are many cloud file solutions that will work just as well, albeit without any close sync for Adobe users. And most of the worthwhile ones are, oddly enough, not free.

This is going to be really bad for me. I use it all the time.

How do other people work remotely?

Any thoughts on how to move forward?

No clue what in the world you're talking about. Especially as remote work is a bigger part of the video post multiverse than ever, and Adobe's Team Projects and Productions formats are designed specifically for remote workflows.

 

And being upgraded for that constantly.
