Selective sync for Creative Cloud Files?

  • June 9, 2016

Is it possible to selective sync certain folders in Creative Cloud. I found an old blog post here Selectively Sync folders on your computer using Creative Cloud « Caveat Lector but I don't have that option in my Finder window.

I have two computers with the same Creative Cloud account (work desktop and home laptop), I don't want to sync all of my work files to my home laptop as it takes up too much space. Surely there is a way to choose which folders sync to your computer in the same way that Dropbox/Google Drive works?

Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Everyone,

    I am so sorry for all the frustration this has caused to all of you. Due to changing priorities, this feature request got overlooked for quite some time now. This feature now has found it's way in ToDo list. The engineering team will start looking into it very soon.

    Thank you all so much for your patience. And I am again so sorry for the inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Ramesh.

      I just moved all my files to Onedrive. I can pretty much do everything Creative Cloud allows me to do on there such as sharing links and getting people to preview stuff. I can live without collaboration for now

        Please add selective sync. This is a fundamental feature any cloud storage should have

          Not only that 100GB for teams is a joke. There isn't selective sync? Really? There isn't even some kind of versioning or locking of files. This is really far from acceptable. Please think about how people would use your product.

            I also find it ridiculous that this is not a feature, or worse, that it used to be and then was removed - and that this has been an issue for at least a couple of years now.

              Selective sync is critical to teams in my organization. Without it, we've filled up drives on laptops and work has come to a halt. As a result, we are considering other solutions.

                I'd recommend Google Drive. Selective sync and a virtual drive mount provides a better solution than Adobe can.

                    It's quite frustrating, it seems like such a simple feature which is integrated into all other cloud storage solutions. I've managed to find this article and it looks like it was once a feature, however it was removed with updates to Mac OSX.

                    Is there any chance that this feature will return to a future version of Creative Cloud?

                      Hi Jacob and Jean:

                      Many thanks for the input. We will discuss the enablement of select sync feature with the management team. Thanks again.

                      Best Regards
