Exporting Adobe CC library as individual files vs. .cclibs file

[Sarah520]

My team and I are wondering if there is a way to either export an entire CC library as individual files vs. .cclibs file *or* if you can extract individual files from that .cclibs file. 

We are wanting to create all of our assets for a project within adobe libraries, and then once the project is completed, export the individual files for archiving on our server. 

Thank you in advance.

Hey Sarah,

There is currently no functionality to bulk export library elements built into the libraries interface. I'd like to have you try something and see if this could help as a workaround.

1. Export the library (.cclibs file) to your desktop (example: main library.cclibs)
2. Rename the file to .zip rather than .cclibs  AND remove any spaces in the library name (example: mainlibrary.zip)
3. Open your terminal
4. Navigate to your desktop folder using the following command:

   cd ~/desktop

5. Then enter the following command:

   unzip mainlibrary.zip​

This should provide you with folders that contain the png/jpeg graphics from the library. Libraries does not support .eps format yet, those would need to be exported from the illustrator app. 

Let me know if that solution works for you. I will also pass along the feedback about adding this functionality to our product team.

Hello Patrick, thank you for the guidance. This solution did work - thank you!
Just a little feedback - It would be great if this method could one day retain the naming of the library asset. 

I will pass this info along to my team, I appreciate your assistance.

The 'solution' you've provided only exports previews of what's in the CC Library, not the original files.
Adobe, please provide the ability for customers to export multiple files from our CC Libraries, it is ridiculous that assets we have spent our time and money creating are bottlenecked in your UI, preventing us from easily saving our own work (as well as work which we pay a monthly subscription fee to Adobe for the apps required to create said work/assets)... which I'm pretty sure would be illegal.

I have no doubt that Adone has done this purposefully, however, it should be noted that this is quite unreasonabe conidering that customers create their own assets (Adobe do not do this for us), and we pay the monthly subscription fee to use the apps also. 

As such, Adobe have no right to intentially make it difficult for us to download/export, multiple files simultaneously, our own created, individual and original assets, for the purposes of standalone backup and storage of our own work.

Fix this please, immediately.
