Selective sync for Creative Cloud Files?

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.

This really would need to be solved. All of the files shared with me are flooding the smaller HD on my laptop, and I don't want to sync everything there.

It's a real shame it's 'all or nothing' with Adobe cloud storage, which is frankly a dumb approach to cloud file management. My team switched to Google drive about two years ago with an enterprise-level account with no storage limits and selective sync, works perfectly and allows people with small HD's on laptops to choose what they need to sync from the cloud.

I see that this thread was going on in 2016 - did it EVER get resolved? I can't find anything on the net about Creative Cloud having basic selective sync functionality.

There is no selective sync option for Adobe Creative Cloud. I would recommend using Google Drive x

Still no selective sync 😞 
Adobe Creative Cloud is a shame.

PLEASE make this a feature! It keeps coming up and then getting dropped. It's long over due and needs to now be moved to the top of the priority list. It's becoming an embarrasing feature not to have!

We still can't possibly be waiting on this critical feature... Google has won me over for Cloud Storage because of this... By having the ability to selective and even smart sync, users are encouraged to use cloud storage over physical because they can simply pay more for extra storage which is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and never worry about gathering a hard to navigate mass of hard drives and SSD's.

Is this for real?!! Selective sync is still not possible?!!

I first time log in on diferent laptop on my account, and I-  terified - just stoped sincing, when I realized that all of my 1TB (I paid up for more space on Cloud) is going to be download.

2TB are still not standard on laptops in these days - instead of Clouds.

It looks like the issue is on table for more then four years!!

Common guys - lets be as good as Dropbox for example!!

Is Adobe going to do something about this?

I cant "share my interest in having this feature by voting/commenting here" because the link in  "Correct Answer by Ramesch_Encore" is not working.

I am considering the posibility of canceling subscription of 1TB plan, because of missing selective sync!

Tkan you for any message.

The link is 4 years old.Since then there is no change in the situation, except that the cloud storage available has increased.

 

Selective synch is available with Microsoft Office OneDrive and that is a much better option for general cloud operations. But for me (and this is for me) I prefer the current situation for my creative cloud files, as synching over metered connections when on travel would cost a fortune. Microsoft Office files rarely need that much space ...

 

Just to compare: My cloud space is half full, my OneDrive space is not yet at 10% when the number of files is about the same.

 

However, I do not think that you can use Lightroom correctly with 100Mb of cloud space. Any other programs will work fine on OneDrive or similar, at least I do not expect major problems...

@ramesh_encore. This feature needs to return.... Cloud storage is pointless if I need to make that much space available on my laptop.

 

Also, the link you posted to share interest is broken.

2020 And I'm still struggling to understand why this feature was removed. It is highly annoying!

Blimey still no selective sync?
Just as well I stopped using the Adobe cloud storage and moved to Google Drive when I did,

Come oin Adobe this is 'must' feature for designers with large files and laptops with desktops that share the same Creartive Cloud account.
