How do I download folders from browser without syncing everything into computer?
I can only download files and not folders. There must be solution. Otherwise it will be like:

So if I have folder structure with 100 MB files and I have 1000 GB storage that is mostly full. And I want to get this 100 MB to other computer then I have to sync 1000 GB to harddrive?

You can't!

If you have the data on the disk, you can create an archive file, and move that one. That operation is however not possible in the browser.

I bet no other cloud storage does that. Who comes up with that limitation and who does it benefit?
And often Adobe offers me to save on cloud not on computer. Why would I. I would lose ability move my project files. Even if I can make folder structure there I have to sync everything I have or download project files one by one and recreate the structure manually.
As useful to me as new half-assed bulletpoint feature in Illustrator.
Sry, but IT IS frustrating.
Saving everything into Dropbox or some other cloud sync thing takes same amount of moves, but they all let download folders.

The web interface to the cloud in Creative Cloud is somehow limited. I stopped using the storage for sharing photos. I'm using WeTransfer for that.

The cloud's strength is in the integration of the different Adobe programs via the library and with other Creative Cloud users. In addition, there is the Lightroom environment, using the cloud extensively. If you are looking for a standard cloud-based storage system, there are other solutions that may offer more for the bang.

I use the cloud to keep my Adobe data synchronized on my different computers. All my systems have enough local storage to cache the cloud data locally. Anything else is not working with the size of documents that Adobe needs to shuffle around. If I had to wait each time for my gigabyte files to download, before I could work with my data, I would despair.
