Download Assets from Library

Oh dear. This is insane.

Smells of profit hunger to me. Why else would Adobe make such an incredibly simple and normal feature impossible, despite so many people wanting it?

Until I hear an explanation, I'm suspecting it's just Adobe trying to make it tat bit more inconvenient for people who might share copyrighted stock (even though, as mentioned, it's easy to do via Photoshop etc) reminds me of anti-user friendly Apple lock in, putting copyright infringement fear before user experience.

Still no download option for library assets via the web portal. Why is there a share link with a page showing all of the assets but no ability to download them?

There's absolutely no reason for "Files" to have download and not Libraries.

You can download on Essential Graphics in Premiere Pro

They get saved on "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Motion Graphics Templates"

Absolutely unacceptable

Absolutely unacceptable to not have this capability-- period.

This is ridiculous. I took over an InDesign file from someone else to make some edits for the owners, and all of the links are broken. I have wasted hours trying to find the images, get the links to work or to download the images. I have never used the cloud-based Adobe Assets system before and definitely never will again; we just save our files to our own server and access them that way at my office. Unbelievable that you can't download your own image files from the cloud.

The only workaround I have been able to figure out from this debacle is to painstakingly relink within the InDesign file each of the images with their location in the Assets folder. Then within InDesign, I choose the File > Package feature, and it will basically download all of the image files (and fonts, which also have broken links) and allow me to store them locally to my own hard drive or server. I hope this helps others.

ahaha is this real life?? Really? No download button??? Years of complaints in this matter. Years of research with this creative cloud thing and no one. Yes... no one yet, had the idea to place a download button so the creatives could download an item from their OWN Library.

Need the download option!

Any updates on this? We have used libraries to store and quickly use our logos and branding assets which has worked well in the past, However, today the files are no longer linked, the folder we share with vendors uses those links and there is no way to get the original artwork from the links through downloading? Please help Adobe

Hi John,

You might try clicking on the thumbnail and viewing that item only/full screen. Then check under the Actions menu in the top right to see if the Download option is available. I think it appears there if available.

Hope that helps,
