Libraries not syncing

I am able so see my CC Libraries in my browser, but when I open the CC Desktop app, they won't sync. Therefor, they don't sync in the design applications either. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, ran CC Cleaner, cleared cache, restarted, etc. No luck. I'm running Sequoia 15.4.1 and the latest CC Desktop app version. I have Admin rights and am the owner of multiple libraries, so I'm getting pretty desperate.

 

Any advice that I haven't already tried?

FYI -- For everyone that has also tried all of the previously mentioned steps unsuccessfully, I was able to work with an Adobe Engineer to find the problem folder causing my issue. While it may or may not work for everyone, here were the steps I took to fix the issue:

  • Close all running Adobe applications.
  • In Activity Monitor do a search for all processes with "Adobe" and "Creative" and identify any that are related to Adobe processes and hit Stop. Force stop them if necessary. Exit Activity Monitor when all are gone.  
  • Use the "Go > Go to Folder" command in Finder and copy/paste this path "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Creative Cloud Libraries/LIBS/"
  • Inside the LIBS folder will be a lengthy folder name (ie. 3DA6E0D559C00AB30A495XXX_XXXX.COM). It will be specific to the user, so the names will be different to everyone. Once you locate that folder, delete it.
  • Finally, open the Creative Cloud Desktop app or one of the other design applications and the libraries will start to repopulate.

Thank you for sharing this. Just the first two steps resolved my font syncing issue (could not download fonts locally and could not sync recently activated fonts). Bumping if anyone is having similar Adobe Fonts cloud syncing errors.

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

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

Saw your comment in another thread and tried it before posting, but still the same result.
