Hi Guys!

I have bought a new iPad Pro, and my plan was to use my Creative Suite on this iPad instead of my Macbook Pro.

I have downloaded the apps for photoshop, but I really can't find and open my files on dropbox.

Can anyone explain the system?

This post is from April 2017. Creative Cloud now runs on the iPad and files can be accessed from DropBox. The information given was correct in 2017, but there have been changes since then and it it no longer valid. Please start a new thread. This one has been locked.

You currently cannot use Creative Cloud on an IPad pro as it uses the IOS operating system. However, Adobe do have applications that run on IOS devices and have some of the capabilities of Photoshop and Illustrator. These apps are designed for low level work though. You can find those apps in the Apple Store.

It's a little late to tell you, but there are strong rumours in the industry that the next IPad Pro will support both IOS and OSX which would make sense as it would then run the full version of Creative Cloud applications and compete with the Windows platform where the Microsoft Surface Pro already runs Creative Cloud.

Terri, I see that link is from 2014. Have you seen anything more recent?

Apple like to market the iPad Pro as if it is some kind of replacement for a Mac, rather than an oversized phone. Blame Apple Marketing for your problem here, but you need a computer. This is really a deliberate decision: technically it could be a little Mac, but then Apple wouldn't be controlling all sales through the App Store. iOS needs years of work and several major rethinks before it is a suitable platform for serious work like this.
