Hello,

 

Recently my friends Creative Cloud subscription was cancelled and he cannot afford to renew his subscription at the moment. Instead i let him use my account for the time being. He has a lot of cloud documents wich he wants to transfer to my account. It seems we are not able to do this. When opening his sync-folder and copy-paste it's content to my sync-folder nothing seems to happen. He also tried manualy downloading his files to transfer them but adobe won't download the files to his PC. Is there another way to transfer his complete cloud documents to my account? Thanks in regards!

1 - the license does not allow sharing http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html

 

2 - too late now, but you should always have a local copy of all cloud files

If you don't have space on your computer drive use an external drive for files
A USB flash drive to carry with you... here are 2, there are many more available

Other flash drives are 1 or even 2 Terabytes

Sharing your license with a second person breaks your subscription terms and we cannot assist. Thread locked.
