I'm pretty sure you cannot download it unless you have an Adobe account. 

 

However, be aware that some of the folks complaining that they can't open raw files with Adobe Camera Raw have the free Bridge, and nothing else. With the Free Bridge you can view files, rename files, and a few other operations, but anything that involves changing pixels, or how they appear, cannot be done. For that you need to have one of the Photoshop Plans.

You can install Adobe Bridge which will install also the Creative Cloud software. But after installation you can uninstall the Creative Cloud using their Creative Cloud uninstaller. This will remove the Creative Cloud but will leave Adobe Bridge installed.

Adobe should understand people don't like having tons of bloatware on their computers.

Can I then delete the CC account and still use Bridge? Also, to remove those ugly CC folders near Windows drives (sidebar) would be nice.


In hindsight I found I do need to be logged into CC account within the remaining Bridge app.
