How To: Import Shapes (or anything really) from CC Library

Question

Im having an issue trying to import some shape vector files to my "Shapes" tool. I already downloaded the file and it was auto-placed into one of my CC libraries. However, when I go to Shapes -> Import Shapes it takes me to File Explorer with system folders. Obviously, I want to pull from the cloud and the CC link I have in my file explorer does not show any of the libraries I have in so Im not sure of the best way to do this.

Hi @RPM2182, you write, “Obviously, I want to pull from the cloud” so I want to be sure I understand what you are trying to do. You have to download the custom shapes from whatever cloud or online source you found. You don't have to put them into the Custom Shapes folder, but that is where the default location is from within Photoshop on the Shapes panel the first time you use it. Likewise, you can navigate to any folder on your system to load CSH files. Note that some shapes are bundled and zipped, so you need to extract them before you load them into Photoshop. Let us know if that helps or if something else is going on!
