Question

Moving files "Saved to Creative Cloud"

Hi Everyone

 

Everytime I save a file I choose " Save to Creative Cloud".  Now I want to move them all to my Computer.

Is there an easy way to do this other than opening each one of them and going "save as".

 

Also Just so I can understand the new "Creative Cloud Synced files" being disabled. I have few files and will move them.

Other than that , Will this affect the files I have " Saved to Creative Cloud".  I am a little confused with this one.

 

Thank you all in advance. 🙂

In the Creative Cloud app, I can go to Files > Your Files, select multiple Cloud Files with the Shift key, click the 3 dots on the right and choose Download.

You will be asked for a destination folder and will get the message that they are exported when done.

That works, with the exception of one cloud file, (export failed) but I can open that file in Illustrator and save as .ai.

Hello @Loks_S,

 

Thank you for reaching out with your questions regarding moving files saved to Creative Cloud and understanding the changes related to Creative Cloud Synced Files.

 

To move files saved to Creative Cloud to your computer, currently, the process involves opening each file and choosing "Save As." Unfortunately, as of now, there isn't a bulk download or move option for cloud documents. Each file needs to be individually saved to your local storage.

 

Regarding the discontinuation of Creative Cloud Synced Files, it primarily affects the storage of files in a specific folder called Creative Cloud Files. However, for files saved as Cloud Documents in applications like Adobe Illustrator, there is no impact. Your creative work stored as Cloud Documents remains secure and accessible in the cloud, and you can continue to work with these files seamlessly.

 

If you have additional questions or if there's anything else you'd like clarification on, feel free to ask. We're here to help!

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

 

Best regards,

Anshul Saini
