Local Creative Cloud folder empty

I have a number of files in my Creative Cloud online storage. However, on my Mac (Big Sur 11.7.7), the Creative Cloud Files folder in my user directory is empty (apart from a hidden "Icon?" file). File syncing in my Creative Cloud App is showing "Up to date". 

 

I have already paused and resumend syncing, deactivated and reactivated Core Sync finder extensions, renamed the old Creative Cloud folder and created a new one by changing the folder location setting in the CC syncing settings, quit my CC desktop app and restarted my Mac – to no avail.

 

What else can I do?

If my CC Desktop app is telling me that sync is "up to date" – where is it syncing these files to?


your local sync folder is being synced to your assets.adobe.com sync folder.

@kglad  I need urgent help, my cc account seems to have been changed from an individual plan to an enterprise plan without Adobe giving prior notice, and all my creative cloud files are lost/it is showing empty, when I also try to sync on my mac, it shows the error below. Please what can be done as urgent as possible to get my files back.

here's how to migrate assets:  https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/transfer-assets.html?linkId=100000252571375

 

but your account wouldn't be changed automatically.  check your account to what account type you have, https://account.adobe.com

I started out on an Individual Plan, but this change was initiated and another in my organzation was made admin, are you saying this change was not from Adobe?

which cc online storage has a number of files?

 

ie, there are 4 sites:

 

https://assets.adobe.com

https://lightroom.adobe.com

https://documentcloud.adobe.com

https://spark.adobe.com

 

only https://assets.adobe.com > launch more > sync folder has files that are also in your computer's adobe sync folder.
