Hi Guys,

I am really new and I just wanted to ask the community If I am able to change the storage location before installing the Creative Cloud.

It automatically installs itsself on my SSD (partition C:/) but on that one I dont have enough free space for the other applications...

I am aware that the programs will run not that fast on a normal HDD but thats not so important for me cause am a beginner...

I would really appreciate some help and I am sorry for my grammar! Thanks!

Correct answer Ned Murphy

The main desktop manager needs to be in the main system drive.  You can install the application elsewhere.

Change Install Location for Applications

With the CC application opened, choose the little gear icon in the upper right corner and then choose Preferences.  In the Preferences screen select Creative Cloud and then look for the Install Location drop down

Hi is there an up to date answer to this topic? 

I first installed my Adobe Cloud suite on an external SSD, but it has all gone back over to my C drive, I too have issues with space notifications as the Adobe is 20GB. Can you add a link to where this topic is covered please.

Thx
