Can't Download anything in Adobe Express

Explorer ,
Mar 17, 2025 Mar 17, 2025

Help!  Have to get files out today. I am attempting to download a pdf and can't.  Just checked and it won't let me download any type of file.  It goes through the motions and goes to "100%" but it doesn't ask me where to save it.  It' not in my downloads or recents.  It's simply not saving anywhere.  I'm on a Mac and I've cleared my cache and updated adobe.   Don't want to totally restart because I have some programs open and can't loose the conversations with gtps. Thank you!!

Hello Tarun,

 

I am using the Adobe Express App for Windows.

 

Remedies I have tried:

  • I have also singed out of all my Adobe products, and back signed in. On Adobe Express App, from Abobe Creative Cloud. No luck
  • Shut down my PC, restarted it multimple times, over the last week on a daily basis, no luck.
  • Cleared my internet browser cache, no luck.
  • All Above updates are up to date.
  • All my Windows updates are up to date.

 

Issue 1: Cannot download more than once:

For each time I open the App, I am only able to download once. In order for me to download again, I need to close the pp, and re-open it.

 

Issue 2: Files do not reflect under ‘my files’:

I also have an issue for the past week or two where once I re-open the app, the last design I created does not reflect under ‘my files’.

When I re-create the design from scratch, I cannot use the same naming convention and a (1) appears at the end of the file name, which means it is saved but does not reflect.

 

I have made a screen-recording showing the downloading issue, if you want, I can send it to you.

Hi @peggyg27148129,

 

Thank you for bringing up the issue with the color palette. To help us better understand and resolve the issue, could you provide a bit more detail?

  • Is the color field disabled, or does nothing happen when you try to enter the hex value?

  • A screenshot of the issue would be incredibly helpful to understand what's going wrong.

Your input will assist us in resolving this more quickly. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we work through this. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance!

 

Best regards,


^MM

Hello Peggy, 

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am struggling with the exact same thing. I can only download a design once per each time I launch the app. The only solution is to close the app, and then have another one opportunity to download something. Truly frustrating! 
Also, since recently, my latest dseigns do not save, they exist, as when I resave with the same name, it shows a (1) but the original design is not visible 😞 an absolute disaster! Because I have to close the app to be able to download it, but then the files is not there 😞
