Sync Error

Most of my files are synced but some of my files are not syncing to my local CC folder even though they appear on the web. I cannot delete these files over the web. Anyone have a solution for this situation?

I solved the problem. My problem was exactly this: 7 pdf files were not syncing at all with my local CC folder and a constant annoying exclamation point was greeting me. I could see these files on CC Web but I couldn't delete, move or rename them. Later, I thought that intervening from a above area might produce a solution and I moved the folder where they are located to another place and my problem disappeared. It was frustrating but I found out that there is a simple solution. I hope it will be useful for those who have similar problems.

    for others, this was the solution:

     

    pause syncing.

    move all files from your local cc sync folder elsewhere

    delete all files in your local cc sync folder (after performing above so the files are backed up).

    unpause syncing.

    reset your cc desktop app.

    any sync error?

    Hello,

    >> The OS version of your system: MacOS Ventura 13.2.1

    >> The version of the Creative Cloud desktop application: Latest version

    >>Please let us know the file types which are not syncing with the cloud: pdf files

    >>Since when are you facing this issue? - For a long time. I had a MAC that didn't receive updates so I thought I was getting such an error because of the OS. I contacted when the error persisted in the current system.

    >>If you could share a screenshot of the error or any error message you receive - I am adding.

     

    I have performed all the troubleshooting options you specified. But still the problem persists.
