Question

Can you open creative cloud files from your app/browser

My question is.

If you're on another PC, can you open synced creative cloud files to edit them.

Say if I have synced a file on Computer A. And that file is now on my cloud file folder. Can I open that file and edit it from Computer B as long as I have CC installed on it to be able to see the file?

Or maybe a better explanation would be is there something like.

File > Open > from Creative Cloud

is there an option like that available that I'm missing? or can you only edit files on the native PC they were created on?

You have two options available.

If you have the Creative Cloud app and file syncing on Computer B then just open the file in the Creative Cloud Files folder on Computer B. Make your edits. They will sync up to the Creative Cloud and down to Computer A.

On Computer B use a web browser to visit the Files Page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. Download the file to Computer B via Actions > Download. Make your edits. Then upload the file using the Replace option available from Actions > Replace. This will replace the file with the newer version which will be available on Computer A due to the file syncing.

Okay I like the first option better but when I open the Creative cloud Files Folder on Computer B I don't see any files at all. Even though they are in that folder and totally synced up to the cloud. Is there something extra I have to do on Computer B to pull all the files to that folder?
