Question

Very difficult to import images from other cloud services to Adobe CC libraries.

When I go to make a video with assets from those whom I associate with, it is very difficult to import their images from other cloud services to Adobe CC libraries.  I contacted Adobe support and was told that I can't directly import images from Google Drive (have to save locally and then upload)...this makes it very complicated and I think the method is highly outdated.  Are there other cloud services that I can do this with (dropbox, etc.) or is it pretty much the same story?

I'm paying for apps and my other associates are running circles around me with their free apps, iphone movie maker and very simple services to make simple video productions with very high connectivity to other services and low effort.  I know Adobe is more sophiticated when I go to do heavier edits but can't it be easier to do some of the simple stuff too?  For simple videos I have bailed on the product when I don't have all of the content on my local devices...welcome to the year 2010.

 

btw- I did find that I can upload from google drive on creative cloud mobile, but it is very unstable...I have to load one file at a time and keep close tab on file names from a long list.  If I load more than 1-3 files the app clunks out with a connectivity error.  No options I can find on the desktop version of creative cloud.  Telling you, it would be great to have a drag and drop...boom 200 photos transfered now.  It's one of those BIG things that makes you stop using the app.  After all, am I seriously going to limit myself to all of my own work that is stored locally? (maybe sometimes but not always)

Let me ask you this. Have you tried moving/copying a file, any type of file, from one online service to some other, Google to Onedrive, one drive to dropbox and or and or, and is that possible?

 

If not then although you may think Adobes system is highly outdated it may be the same with all of them. So in reality Adobe system is not outdated at all. It is what it is and how it is suppoed to work.

 

I suspect you are working with Premiere Pro. So I will have it move to that forum.

 

Best of luck to you.

    Hi.  Thank you for your reply.  I am using either Adobe Premier Pro (desktop) or Rush (mobile)...for that matter I could say any of the Adobe apps but let's start with PremierPro and Rush.  I thought the purpose to Creative Cloud was as a share drive to work between all of the Adobe apps.  Creative Cloud is fine if you are going to hold all of the content on your hard drive and then upload it to Creative Cloud but that means you have to pump it through your hard drive or physical devices...this is much more complicated that just taking it from another share drive service DIRECTLY into Creative Cloud.  I did find that I could do this with the Creative Cloud App (import from Google Drive) but it is very unstable and time consuming...and the same is not available on the desktop version.  If I knew that MS OneDrive, iCloud, or DropBox (or other cloud drives) were fitted with Creative Cloud, then I would go this direction.

     

    I guess the question is: do you have to upload to Creative Cloud from your devices (phone, camera, computer drive) or is there an efficient way to do this from a cloud service?  We can drop the entire outdated and running circles around me comments because these are all irrelevant to what I am trying to do.

     

    Thanks again.
