How do I download all my cloud files to my own local NAS without individually selecting each file?

I have sevral terabytes of local storage. I want to be able to download all my cloud files to my own storage. Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve individually selecting each of the 10s of thousands of files?

Did you find a solution? I'm looking to do this, too. Adobe's file management is a joke.

adobe's cc files are for sharing, not storage.

Then the default should be to save them locally and upload to share.

Hi @Bill233204752kdu ,

 

I reviewed the account that you have used to post here and noticed that you have a Creative Cloud All apps Individual plan, Hence will be moving this post to the Creative Cloud Services team.

Thank you for the reply, but it does not answer my question, unless you can tell me where the "select all" button is located. As I mentioned, I have tens of thousands of files - over 1.5 terabytes currently stored on the Adobe cloud. I want to download all of those files, store them on my local NAS (which is NOT synced with the cloud) and then safely delete all the files from the cloud. I will then upload only what I want to share through the Adobe cloud, or access while travelling. Adobe does not backup the cloud files and I don't want a single point of failure., especially since I have read complaints about files becoming corrupted in the cloud and then those same corrupted files replacing the originals on peoples local PCs. I have a strategy in mind to do this proactively, but I think I have edited files in the Adobe cloud that I do NOT have locally. So I want to download everything. Run a file-compare utility locally and make sure I have 1 good copy of each file on my NAS - which I backup elsewhere.

none have a select all. some allow a shift-select that allows selecting multiple files.
