Hi folks,

 

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. There are a couple of different root causes/variations I've seen of this symptom.

 

  1. In the least severe variation, this symptom is short-lived. Waiting long enough, or reloading the browser tab fixes the issue.
  2. In another varation, an asset you had added failed to upload or is still uploading. There should be a red warning sign / orange icon on that asset on the page. In that case, you can try to re-add that asset (delete and re-add, or

Did anyone have any luck? I went through Neelamk's suggestions and double-checked that there were no files still uploading, and it still gives the errors and never downloads. Need this for a presentation.

This has been going on for WEEKS! And I am still having the same problem.

 

1- I tried different browsers.

2- I tried different computers.

3- I tried even logging into a remote computer.

 

The same problem: "We're working on your file". How long is it going to take Adobe to "work" on my file?????

 

HELP!

...and of course the so-called "Incognito" option. That too does not work! Nor does using different browsers.

 

Clearly it is from Adobe's end.

Adobe

 

How are you not ashamed of yourself for not only managing to create the biggest piece of garbage software, not only taking something that was once the epitome of digital design software and destroying it, but also charging people more than before for this?

 

This issue is happening on the app, not the browser,how does that make sense when I'm working offline?

This is, by far, my biggest frustration with Adobe and I REALLY wish that it would get fixed.

@jessie_8729 

 

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. I checked your logs and sounds like the issue may be stemming from two Adobe Stock assets used in your Express files, with the following descriptions:

 

  • Composition with piggy bank isolated on red background
  • Black Friday urgency sale banner template


I can't tell what went wrong, but it's possible that deleting and re-adding these assets may fix the issue. If the issue persists after re-adding these assets, please let us know.

BTW, I totally understand how this could be your biggest frustration; this is also on the top of the list of issues that I have been trying to get prioritized (though I have limited say in the matter)

 

Thanks,

Abhi G

I had the same issue and have been trying to figure out why this was happening. I found something that worked for me. I kept trying all the methods on this thread with no luck. Oddly enough, I tried watching my whole video from start to finish (to see if it helped "load" the video) and once I reached the end, I checked if I could download it and it worked. Hope this helps.

I have a fix that actually worked for me.   With the project open in the browser, at the top left of the interface, click the File menu to the right of the Adobe Express, then click show Version History.  Version History window will open up on the right side.  On the versions list, click the + icon to create a new file based on one of those versions.  When the new file opens up is when I was able to download my project.  GOOD LUCK

Hi,

I'm also facing this issue with every file I'm opening. These are all simple social media posts though without heavy files...

I tried your suggestions, switched from wi-fi to a stable cable connection but still nothing works...

 

Do you have other things I can do to be able to download/share my files?

I had the same problem when the "Enhanced Speech" feature was selected for the audio portion of my video. Once I turned that off, the video downloaded just fine. 

Cheers!

Abhi.G @ ADBE I have the most severe case. No orange or red icons, it pops up a prompt when I leave the page. 

This is what I have: "In the most severe (but rare) variation, for some reason, auto-save has stopped working. If you attempt to navigate away or reload the browser tab, you get the "Leaving so soon?" dialog"

The pattern is "any time I use Adobe Express." I have absolutely no clue how to manually save.
