Switching between my devices in CC causes serious lag...

Hi all,

I have had this problem ever since I started using CC, which has been for about 8 years now since I have been with my current company. I have a fully loaded and upgraded 2017 imac that has been updated and upgraded all the way, so it has some serious speed. I also have a fully maxed out Macbook Pro Mid 2012 (I know, it's older, but it still functions and I use it sparringly when on the go). The Pro is also lightning fast because it has been fully upgraded and updated, even past what Apple recommends (I know how to do this myself and have had zero issues with any other functions).

Let me get to the meat of why I am posting here. Anytime I switch between the two devices, there is some SERIOUS lag that happens to both of these computers. I have to wait about 15-20 minutes after I sign into one and sign out of the other before I can actually use either device. It is absolutely absurd and I don't understand why this happens every single time. I don't know if this is the files syncing or what, but I actually don't have too many files synced to my cloud account--my company uses google drive for all of our file saving and sharing, and that has worked flawlessly when syncing any design files I've saved from one device to another. Is this just something we all put up with? I've put up with it for years but I'm really getting tired of it. Why can't I simply sign out of one device and sign into another device and have it ready to go?? I'd understand if my computers didn't have the RAM to handle it, but they do, and they both even have SSDs, which makes them both even faster. So I'm just really at a loss here. Does anyone else experience this when swithcing between devices, because I tried searching the community many times and never saw anyone else post about it.

Thank you for reading.
