Hi,

We have released the fix for the issue. It should have been updated automatically on your system. In case the core sync has not updated to version "3.0.3.6" on your machine then please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Creative Cloud Application

2. Sign out from Creative Cloud Application.

3. Sign in again with same or different credentials.

4. Wait for few minutes.

5. Creative Cloud will automatically update itself to latest version.

Kindly let me know if you are still facing any issue after the update.

Thanks,

Puneet Aggarwal

Try to open the file from "..\Documents\Movies" instead of "Creative Cloud Files"

Thanks! That was faster than I expected!

How can I find out which version of Core Sync I have? The version of the CC app I have is 4.5.0.331 but I don't know where to look for the Core Sync version.

Please click on three dots present on the top right of creative cloud app. Then click on Preferences. Here you will see two tabs

1: General

2: Creative Cloud

Click on Creative Cloud and then click on Files. Here you will see the version of Core Sync installed on your machine.

Thanks,

Windows 10 and microshit takes yet another "L" at their customers expense! this is due to the new forced update windows-SPYWARE-10, along with removing normal networking protocol, and other (probably) hidden garbage to track and sell you crap!
W10 needs to be fully recalled, its users compensated for the time lost and the insult (see unasked for update from previous OS's), and support for the great W7 fully reinstated! build something that works and people will pay for it...i would never drop a dime on this shit os! every time i hit the start button im reminded how crappy it is!

Same issue, and it's very annoying as this happens every single time I try to save ANYTHING.

- Changing ownership doesn't work

- Exiting/restarting client or computer doesn't work

- Logging out/in doesn't work

- Reinstalling doesn't work

Yes, also on Windows 10. When can we expect a patch/fix for this issue?

I contacted our developers about this and was told that it was an issue introduced with the latest update that can affect some users. A temporary solution (if you don't use file sync) is to disable file sync from the Creative Cloud app preferences. The developers plan to release a hotfix for the issue very soon.

I do use filesync and it's a problem that I've had to disable it. No choice, really, so I hope that fix comes quickly!

I have the same problem. Windows 10, folder access and permissions are on maximum for all users, but the error still comes up. Just pressing the save button again lets me save the file (replace dialog)...

Question... is everyone who is having this problem a Windows 10 user? I ask because it seem like this coincided with the last major Windows update, which had caused problems with several applications.

I've seen a lot of Mac users with the same problem throughout the Adobe forums. I do think it's an update issue but it may be in updates to the app itself, or some combination. We don't update our work laptops when updates first come out. IT makes sure they work well with every version of computer we're using before they apply updates. But my CC app updates itself automagically. We haven't yet applied the most recent Win10 update.

I have been having this problem as well for the last couple of weeks. Every time I try to save it says that same error HOWEVER it still creates a file, it's just empty/corrupted. Then if you try to save it again it asks you if you want to overwrite the existing file, and then you can save and it appears to work fine... Just really annoying.

I have tried putting the Creative Cloud folder ownership to Administrators and I've tried doing the uncheck read-only thing but neither helped at all. I have this problem on multiple computers, all Windows 10.

An FYI, I began with that problem, which then morphed into another. Adobe CC thought it was unable to sync properly so it kept synching, which made the log files continue building until either I shut off the computer or my hard drive ran out of space.

Until I can get IT to uninstall and reinstall CC (no one in our office has the ability to do that except for IT), I've turned synching off.

I'm not sure what made this work for me but here's what I did.

1 I uninstalled then reinstalled photoshop but didn't open yet

2 I went to local disk (C:) and right clicked users folder and then selected properties.

3 unchecked read only and hit apply

4 restarted computer

5 opened photoshop and now it saves normally

hope this helps figure it out

I also have this problem, it's been pissing me off for days. I'm switching off creative cloud sync since I don't use it anyway.
