The Cloud manager has to be installed on the main drive.  The applications can be installed 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

I've followed the instructions and the preferences area shows the apps as having moved to the new location ...... but when I check the contents of the target drive they haven't moved at all! So the preferences section is showing a different locations for the apps than where they are actualy installed! Please help!

As far as I know, the install instructions are for a NEW install, not to move already installed programs

 

You will need to UN-install what you have and do a new install

Thank John,

I feel dumb - after 40 years of computer experience I should have realised this! Many thanks for putting me on the right track and so quickly. Much appreciated.
