How to bulk download images within LIBRARIES to my computer?

Explorer ,
Oct 30, 2023 Oct 30, 2023

Hi,

I use Windows 10 with the Creative Cloud application.
There I have several LIBRARIES (!) with images in it.

I can mark only 1 image for downloading it, but not all images, and there are really many.

Note: I don't have anything at "files" in the CC app, only at the tab "libraries"!

How can I bulk / batch download all my libraries and the images in them?

Thank you.

P.S.:
I know that there is a local Sync folder, that I can open when clicking in CC app in the bottom left corner "open sync folder", but this is empty. I guess this sync folder only syncs files from "files tab" in the CC app, but not the "libraries" and its content?

the sync folder and libaries are distinct parts of adobe's cloud files (and the sync folder is no longer going to sync in the next few months).

 

and there's no way to batch download libraries.

Bulk downloading assets within libraries should be a standard feature for _any_ effective workflow; in places with less-than-reliable internet being able to work on a local copy is often the only way to work and I believe it is unacceptable that on 2024 this basic feature is not offered. Sure, one can download them... ****one by one**** into a folder that needs to be specified ****every time****. To do this four mouse clicks and three mouse movements are necessary. Multiply times, say, 10.000 pictures, and that results in a heckuvalot of RSI.

Hi Carlos,

 

You shouldn't need to download libraries to work offline. Most work flows are already enabled offline, because libraries already has downloaded the files onto your device. It works from this cache and syncs to the cloud. When you reconnect to the internet, any remote changes are pulled down, merged with your local changes, and the final state pushed back up to the cloud.

Hi there,

I have edited photos for a client, and want to send them to said client to download. Why is it so difficult to download pictures from libraries? It is ridiculous that only 1 photo can be downloaded at a time, it makes no sense... Thinking of switching to a different software provider if this is not fixed.

you should be saving locally unless you're sharing the library with everyone relevant.
