So I found some topics about this issue (over a year old). The problem is that my files are placed in the trash (god knows why) for no good reason. We're sharing our creative cloud @ work but nobody moved or deleted files. On other collegeau has the same issue. Files can be found in the trash.

I'm really upset because I need my files for my clients! On the topic I found about this issue adobe didn't really give a good solution...

I can see my files on my browser but when I click on them it gives me the message "page not found" -_-.

Please help, we pay every month to use this software and we expect some decent help! (don't you dare send me to the chat where I can talk to a guy from India that knows nothing about the software etc).

Thx in advance.. I guess (sorry, I'm pissed off!)

Correct answer Ken G. Rice

I just noticed a couple of folders went missing again... And yes it's really inconvenient! On the web I can still see all my files but when I try to open or download them I get "page not found".

Come on Adobe... Fix this, I've seen more posts like this from over a year ago. Nobody looked into this?

I'm actually thinking of ditching creative cloud. Sadly. Because we do pay for this service, but if it's not working...

For me, I lost 22GB of files.

I thought I was keeping a copy of all files on my hard disk as it is done with many other online storage.

I have Team Account so 100Gb of storage. I suddenly got the message that i did not have any more storage available. That I had reached the maximum of 2Gb! I tried to logoff and login again but was too late: In less than 10 mins my files were all gone! From one Mac and one PC as well.

I went to the Manage files on the browser and tried to restore from archive, and nothing relevant was there. Surprise! these files were on my trash. But still my last documents were not there either.

If we are out of storage whatever the reason is: true or error from server, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A BUFFER TIME to save something? like 3 days AT LEAST. And how come it goes to the trash?!

I am so disappointed really!

Can I still retrieve my files somehow now? I do not see all files on archived.

Hi there,

I'm experiencing same issue, as colleagues above.

I'm sharing workspace  with my coworker via Creative Cloud. I noticed that on each morning login to CC, some shared folders are being moved to the trash - owner of those folders is my mentioned coworker, all my folders are staying untouched. On the other hand, my coworker is experiencing same issue, but CC is deleting all folders which I shared with him.  After few hours, when we're both logged into same network, files are being synced back automatically (downloading from the cloud). We're experiencing this for last few days, each time when I try to manually put back removed folders into CC folder, I'm getting notifications about upload conflict.

I've checked CC via browser, and independently to the situation on our devices, all folders in browser are visible and nothing happens with them. Moved to the thrash folders on our devices are not showing in Archive.

I'm working on OSx El Capitan 10.11.6, and he's working on Windows 7 Home Premium.

Looking forward to hear about any solution.

Hi Dominique,

I understand your issue and apologize for your support experience.

How about if I set up a call for you from my senior technician who will take a screen share of your machine and help you fix the issue?

Regards,

That would be very good! I'm not at work anymore so how can I contact you? It'll probably be next week...

But isn't this a known issue?
