I am in need of moving my Creative Cloud Suite from my boot drive to another drive, E: in this case. How do I set this up so the all future Adobe programs go there when downloaded and updated?

1. Change the default install location (as described by the poster above, under Apps  / Creative Cloud / Install Location.

2. Un-install each app (using the "gear" next to the app name). When prompted, indicate that the uninstall should not remove your settings.

3. Re-install each app. It will appear in the new install location. Your original drive will still have some Adobe CC files (and, I think, the Adobe CC launcher app itself), but most of your stuff will be in the new location.

After uninstalling the app, launch Adobe Creative Cloud and make sure to change App location by selecting desired location where you wanna install the CC apps .

Hi,

You can change the install location through the Adobe CC desktop app.

Click on the gear icon on the top right>Select Preferences> Under Creative Cloud section you can set the install location.

You will need to DE-activate, uninstall and reinstall... and be aware that selecting a different drive during install still puts SOME parts on your boot drive
