I looked through all the forums and everyone just says to fix the settings in the Adobe Cloud App

Apps Install Location: D Drive

Files Install Location: D Drive.

My D drive is just a split internal hard drive on my laptop. 

When I install it goes right to my C drive for apps and files.

How do i force it to install on my D drive?

Correct answer kglad

the cc desktop app must be installed on the os drive.

the apps can be installed on any drive, but not its root:  with the CC application opened, choose the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then choose Preferences.  in the preferences panel select Creative Cloud and then look for the Install Location drop down

Sorry if i was not clear in my message above but in preferences i already edited it and its showing the following.

This is in the ADOBE Cloud App. Clicking the 3 dots.

Apps Install Location: D Drive

Files Install Location: D Drive.

it still installs both my apps and files on the C drive.

I tried reinstalling the ADOBE Cloud App and now it works correctly

again, you cannot install on the root of any drive.  ie, create and adobe folder on your d drive and use d:adobe
