Hi,
I've been trying to set the preference in Creative Cloud to install apps to another location on an external drive, on which I have numerous other programs. But it refuses to install Adobe apps there, giving me the following error (see image).
I have seen other folks say that they've been able to do this but for some reason, my system just won't do it.
I'm running a Mac Mini with Sonoma, and have numerous other apps on my hard drive that work fine. It's not encrypted. It runs the standard Mac format, has more than 40GB free,
I even tried creating an "Apps" folder on the drive to see if it would install there, but same error.
Any ideas, friends? Thanks!

Hi Maxrocektmusic,
As I understand, you're unable to install Creative cloud apps on a different location. Please refer to this article that discusses the same issue: https://adobe.ly/3AZvfa2;
I hope this helps https://adobe.ly/3AZvfqy let us know the outcome.
Thanks

Can you try disabling auto-update? I don't think auto-update can be enabled if the apps are on an external drive as the drive may not always be connected resulting in an error.

Doesn't seem to make any difference 😞
