Question

Uploading to Creative Cloud - Or AKA Synching

Please point me to a way to learn about getting my files backed up on the Cloud.  I have been able to create folders on the Cloud but after selecting Open Sync folder on the bottom left - and selecting files, nothing shows up in the folder.  This is odd .... as looking at my Adobe Account, I can clearly see the images under the Recent section on my Account page.  I'm sure there is a sync option which might make copies automatically but I want to be more selective in the files I save the the Cloud.

The Sync folder is a local folder named Creative Cloud Files where you can save your files locally and have them synced to the Creative Cloud. Not to be confused with Cloud files which are directly (and automatically) saved to the Creative Cloud. Both are versioned and for a limited time you can go back to a previous version.

Thanks for these links.  Some of which I read prior to my posting a question.  It's still clear as mud but one day the light bulb will come on and I'll wonder why I thought it was so confusing.  Thanks for your response.
