Need a workaround for shared Fresco files

Question

I have both a personal and a work Adobe ID. I created some drawings using my work ID for personal use and shared them with my personal ID. All works as it should.

However, I'd like to remove the personal files from my work account. When I save them to "my files" in my personal account and then delete them from my work account, they are also removed from my personal account in both My Files and Files Shared with Me.

Is there a way to save the shared files so that they can be safely removed from the work account and still remain in the personal account?

Thanks.

I found a workaround to move my personal files from the work ID to my personal ID so I could delete them from the work account. It's a PITA... just a heads up.

When logged into the account you want to move the files FROM, download the files you want to move to another account to your local storage. You can download each file individually, or click the boxes in each thumbnail to download them all together.
In the CC app, log in to the account you want to transfer the files to.
Go to Files. (Click the icon in the left bar.)
In the Files window, click the little plus sign in the upper right to upload files.
Alternatively, you can open them in Photoshop and save to the cloud, again, making sure you're logged into the account you want to save the files to. I had a couple of files that didn't upload, and I got them done this way.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a way to batch upload.

Then, "leave" the shared files, and you should be left with the files you uploaded.

Be sure to test this out with files you don't want to keep before you do them all, so you don't have to do everything twice.
