Question

"Shared" sync folder?

Say we have 1 Mac with 1 CC account but 2 local users ... both of which sync the "Creative Cloud Files" folder using the same CC account.

 

So we now have 2 copies of this folder using double the space. (One is at `/Users/account1/Creative Cloud Files` and the other at `/Users/account2/Creative Cloud Files`)

 

Is there any way to point both local users to the same sync folder? I tried "moving" it to `/Users/Shared` from CC app while in account1, but that didn't work – When I tried doing the same in account2, CC app complained and stopped syncing.

 

I Tried changing permissions to read/write for both local users. Didn't work.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

That is against the EULA.

Each user must have their own account.

Well, both user local user accounts are mine ... I only use one at a time.

It's not 2 actual users, it's just 2 local accounts (separated for my 2 businesses.)

Is it technically possible?
