Cannot sync on MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave

Feb 22, 2021 Feb 22, 2021

I have tried the suggested solutions from Adobe re Core Sync. No change. "Open on the web" not available. I saved files to the Creative Cloud app, signed in on the web to look for the synced files--not there. Any other solutions?

Sometime earlier I saw a message over the CC icon in the taskbar saying "Creative Cloud Update," I refreshed as you suggested, and now things seem to sync. Thanks for your help!

According to Preferences it is in my user root (Jeannie/Creative Cloud Files). However, in the info on the sidebar from "Creative Cloud Files" it showed a different path, to a duplicate folder of the same name within my Documents.

 

I moved that duplicate folder to the Trash. I went back to Preferences to set the path to the root again. It now shows the sync directory in the Trash.

 

Then I changed the name of the folder in the Trash to "OLDCreative Cloud Files" and the only thing that changed was the sidebar now shows the path at .../Trash/OLDCreative Cloud Files.

 

I have restarted and I have tried unsuccessfully several times to re-point the sync folder to the user root.

 

How do I resolve this? Should I uninstall Creative Cloud and reinstall?

you can't use a drive root for you adobe sync folder.  the files won't sync (which is what you're seeing).

 

create a directory in your root (eg, adobe sync) and assign that as your sync folder in the adobe cc desktop app (file>preferences>syncing).

 

then put a test file in that folder and see (using your os file browser) if it starts sync'g (and completes syncing) with adobe's online storage.

I already have a Creative Cloud Files folder in my User root as I have done for several years. It is only recently that something changed and the sync is not pointing to that folder.

I created a new folder as you suggested and placed a single file in it. When I viewed that folder in Finder, suddenly my entire previously-created Creative Cloud Files folder and all subfolders were in the same new folder. But nothing sync'd.

 

When I accessed my files through the web it says the last sync was 22 days ago.

Sorry about the download.

No, no green checks. And as I mentioned, when I go to the web directly the last sync date was Feb. 1

And typically I see the blue syncing arrows when I add a new file, both in the Finder as well as in the CC icon.

No. But after I paused and unpaused the double blue arrows in the icon at the top taskbar were visible for several minutes. I had hope that was a good sign, but the web view still says the last modification was 23 days ago.
