Creative Cloud desktop file synchronisation problem

[pierret18811376]

About Creative cloud desktop, I have all the time a file synchronisation activity.

Result : it takes bandwith on my internet connexion and 15/20% of the CPU.

Here is the version of the creative cloud desktop :

something's failing to sync. see if you can pinpoint it.

You are right : something is failing to sync.

But inside creative cloud desktop, the only app installed is : Adobe Acrobat Pro.

to clear or check all files stored on adobe's servers, use a web browser to navigate to the following locations. at each location there are several folders to check.:

https://assets.adobe.com  (be sure to check "launch more" here)

https://lightroom.adobe.com

https://documentcloud.adobe.com

https://spark.adobe.com

if you delete anything from any of these locations, check for a deleted folder where your file(s) was (were) moved. if you want to clear space you must delete files in the deleted folder.

I gone in all locations you have mentioned, and I have only found "PDF files with signature" in adobe document cloud.

But I don't understand why creative cloud does not stop the synchronisation, by using my CPU all the time at 15/20%.

[pierret18811376]

By example, on https://assets.adobe.com/  I have no files to synchronize.

I have noticed anoter thing :

1) Inside the creative cloud desktop, if I stop the synchronization, and if I restart the synchronization, the synchronisation stops and I can see that the synchronisation of files is "up to date".

2) But, then, I restart my computer and see that again the synchronisation problem is back (it synchronize all the time, even if there is no files to synchronise).

So I am all the time obliged to stop and restart the synchronisation inside creative cloud desktop.

what if you just reset the app instead of pause/restart sync?

to reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

[pierret18811376]

I have made Control+ALT+R, but the problem is always here (synchronisation all the time).

According to you, it is not a bug ?

[kglad]

not likely a bug.  there's something particular to your system causing the problem. eg, i don't see the problem and most users don't see the problem.

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.

I understand that you have not this problem on your computer, but it could be a bug for people other than you.

Please redirect this issue on "bug" as I had chosen at the begining.

I thank you for your help, but I will wait an update for the creative cloud desktop.

Meanwhile, I have found this workaround : I stop the synchronisation, then I restart it and it works again (I have only to do that after each restart of the computer).
