Creative Cloud storage - unable to download large files

I have about 60GB of space left on my CC storage. Today I tried to download large files (about 1.5GB-2GB) but I keep getting the 'download failed/insufficient space' error message.

 

Tried several times and gave up.

 

Anyone know what could be the issue?

ThievingKlingon, how much disk space is available on the drive you are downloading the file to?  Is this the same drive/partition that contains the operating system?  If not, then how much space is available on the drive/partition containing the computers operating system.

Hi Jeff,

I chose the 'Creative Cloud Files' folder to download the items to, so it's not a local folder on my desktop.

 

Have been doing that for awhile but only yesterday did I run into these issues.

I am sorry, ThievingKlingon, but the temp files must be stored on the same drive that contains the operating system.


Hi Jeff, 

Sorry I'm a little confused again - I have 100GB of storage space on CC storage, so all my work files are there. 


But why is my C drive still indicating that CC files are using up 42G of space? I thought all files stored on the cloud? Is it because there's failure to sync the files to the cloud?
