Remove the Stock advert banner under the Apps tab

Hi,

I'm subscribed to CC for a year. And just recently, Adove Creative Cloud Desktop in OS X started to display an advert banner for Adobe Stock, under the Apps tab, within the Creative Cloud Desktop app in the Menu Bar.

Moreover, when I open the app for the first time after each startup, I'm directed to the Stock tab, which I don't want to use. I just want to open or update my applications that's it.

The thing is I'm not subscribed to Stock, and I don't plan to get a plan for it anytime soon. So I don't have any use for this advert right in my Menu Bar.

For now I think I will not allow the app to load at launch, and I'm just going to stick to OS X Launchpad to start my applications.

Nonetheless, that would be realy appreciated if I could find a way to disable this function, as I like to have my system clean from adverts right in my Menu Bar.

Thank you

Adobe product developers don't lurk in these user-to-user communities.

 

Please leave feedback & feature requests on Adobe UserVoice where they'll see them.

Thank you.

+1 for Adobe NOT plastering the CC app with Adobe Stock adverts. They slow me down, because EVERY time I start the app it is NOT to use Stock but something else.

Ugh. I was hoping there would be a fix for this. So damn annoying. It even pops up within apps after updating. STOP IT, ADOBE. I'm already paying you a lot of money and the only thing this is doing is making me NEVER want to use your damn stock library!

Once I realized Adobe was doing this I stopped using the CC menubar icon entirely, disabled it at login, and just launch everything using the OS X dock.

Remove the Stock ads Adobe. Don't use it, don't want it. It's an irritating intrusion into my work.

Please give us the ability to turn off the Search Adobe Stock search field! I don't use Adobe stock, likely never will.

Adobe, why don't you bring a pop up in the middle of our workspace every 5 minutes to buy Stock images?  I'm sure we'd all love it!

The audacity of having a search bar in the apps tab that isn't for apps is just staggering.

If you want me to use Adobe stock, give me some free credits each month with the ~£50 I'm already paying each month, otherwise put it in the asset tab where it belongs and stop bugging me with it.

Desperate, unsympathetic marketing behaviour typical of a company seeking to run a total monopoly.

Count me in as irritated by the fact that I am PAYING Adobe to advertise to me within applications while I am trying to work. Users should have the ability to disable this. I will be CANCELING my Adobe Stock subscription when it expires in April in protest. Many stock suppliers to choose from and Adobe has pushed me to the breaking point with the advertising within a program I pay to use.

Looks like Adobe doesn't care what we think.

I don't want adobe stock, and I especially don't want to see it.
