Installing Adobe programs on D drive

Hi everyone,

I have recently bought a new laptop which has a C and D drive. The C drive only has 50GB of storage left but the D drive has 960GB free. When I install Creative Cloud programs is it possible to install them onto the D drive to ensure I don't run out of storage?

Thanks!

    Hello,

     

    Just change the settings from the preferences in the creative cloud setup.

      I also tried to change the default to Drive D (with and without an Adobe folder) but I get an error "cannot install to root path." I put the Creative Cloud folder there but no luck!

      PaintedStuff, this should not happen if you fill in the full name in Preferences. Please show a screen shot of your preferences with the Install folder set to the folder you created. Use it WITH the folder - as we've said it cannot work WITHOUT the folder, because that is the root path it's complaining about.

      Fix what? This post, 4 years ago, seemed to solve the original problem. Please describe YOUR problem in detail as it may be different.

          Hi Michaelm13886650,

          Please check the FAQ section of this link : Download and install Adobe Creative Cloud apps

          NOTE: We would suggest you to install your application on the primary drive, however you can configure the installation destination from within the Creative Cloud app preferences.

          Please be aware that there will still be shared resources stored to your primary drive, In addition during the install process temporary files will also be created on your primary drive.

          **** If you have already installed apps you'll have to uninstall it and then make the location changes in Creative Cloud Desktop app after that reboot the machine and now install your apps again and it should install on new selected location.

          Let us know if this helps.
