Hey guys, I have been user of the CreativeCloud for over 5 years now so I went trough many Versions of CreativeCloud so far.
The one at the moment is one of the worst. Do not get me wrong, the new app interface is amazing. But the stuff happening in the background is the worst.
I just did a clean Catalina install and the first thing I did was to install CreativeCloud (without any programms). Not only did it - from the start - significantly loaded my hardware and drained my battery out, it also - without questioning, startet to sync all my CreativeCloud files. There is no way to turn it of. It is just possible to pause. Which means if I want to delete the files, as soon as I stop pause they will be deleted too? How annoying is that?
Next thing: No syncing of settings? Have you gone mad? Whats the reason for that? I thought thats the Idea of CreativeCloud - TO WORK ACROSS STATIONS.
Last but not least: See the attached Screenshot. That is how my Launchpad looks after installation. Seriously. WTF.
I do not want to dig in into where in macOS I was able to find Adobe Folders - they were spread everywhere.
And by the way? "Utilities" is a system application folder, there is NO need to install all the creative cloud software in there, and then add another folder in the root aplication folder with links to the utilites folder. NO NEED. Just create a regular folder within /applications as everyone else is doing it. Absolute terrible user expierence. I wonder how new customers are feeling about this - I would leave immediately and maybe I will do - this not acceptable for me in any way.
Little Update: I just uninstalled CreativeCloud (around 1hour after installing it) - never donwloaded any of the programms - bam. 8GB less on my harddrive. So I started searching. You do not want to know how much stuff Adobe just leaves on your device after uninstall. I am seriosly shocked.
