Remove the Stock advert banner under the Apps tab

Hi,

I'm subscribed to CC for a year. And just recently, Adove Creative Cloud Desktop in OS X started to display an advert banner for Adobe Stock, under the Apps tab, within the Creative Cloud Desktop app in the Menu Bar.

Moreover, when I open the app for the first time after each startup, I'm directed to the Stock tab, which I don't want to use. I just want to open or update my applications that's it.

The thing is I'm not subscribed to Stock, and I don't plan to get a plan for it anytime soon. So I don't have any use for this advert right in my Menu Bar.

For now I think I will not allow the app to load at launch, and I'm just going to stick to OS X Launchpad to start my applications.

Nonetheless, that would be realy appreciated if I could find a way to disable this function, as I like to have my system clean from adverts right in my Menu Bar.

Thank you

Adobe product developers don't lurk in these user-to-user communities.

Please leave feedback & feature requests on Adobe UserVoice where they'll see them.

get rid of the stock ad

I would never use it and I have been subscribed for four years now.

I use my own material.

I will follow the steps that were given to remove it but Adobe needs to have a button to prevent it from showing - it is so annoying and unethical to plaster it everywhere.

Hi guys - I created a fix to remove the Stock banner from the apps list here: Re: Please no Stock search field in the Creative Cloud app install list‌

My instructions are for Windows, but a response below mine by jan_peeters has the necessary details for OS X.

Thanks, Worked for the App tab.

Now how about making the CC app open to the Apps tab when you start it. I always quit/close the CC app after I'm done looking for and downloading updates.

Have you come up with a way to make that Stock Photos Ad disappear for Mac OS?

WHen I'm paying for an app, I don't expect to be bombarded by ads. You already got my money. you want to bother people with ads, lower my price. There's no Pro app out there that bombards its users with this garbage

Yes, please add option to remove it. I have no plans to ever use Adobe Stock, and it's really annoying being constantly bombarded with ads for it.

This. All of it. I already open the Creative Cloud app as little as possible, and when I do, it's because there's an update… but of course, it opens up to the Stock tab. Then I click over to Apps, and am again presented with searching for stock images.

My Suggestions:

- Remove the default to "Stock" when opening the window. Have it remember where I was the last time I had it open.

- Remove the Stock banner altogether from the Apps section. There is no reasonable situation where that is what a user would expect or intends to do on that tab.

maybe instead of seeing how much ad space you can cram in to the CC app, some of that engineering time could be used to get cmd-a, select all working in text input boxes. its a pain when you are typing, hit cmd-a like you can in every other text entry box in every other app and it doesnt work

+1. I don't use Adobe Stock, I don't want to use Adobe Stock, and I don't want to see Adobe Stock. If I did, I'd pay for it, and then it should appear as a tab, and only as a tab.

There's no reason at all for there to be an advertisement for it on my 'Apps' tab.

Seriously Adobe?

Either put these ads in our banner and lower the monthly rental on "our" apps (similar to what Amazon does with its "Special Offers" on the Kindle) or keep our experience ad free. You don't get both.

Plus one to this feature.

Put my vote in for a way to REMOVE this ADD feature. I PAY Adobe every month and don't want to see this Stock ADD every time I open the CC app.

I will certainly let the concern team know about it.

I'd also welcome the option to disable this. I'm not a heavy stock user at all, so I've little need for Adobe Stock.

Regardless of the above, the notion that Adobe is using a product that I ALREADY PAY FOR to serve ads to be highly objectionable. Actually makes me quite annoyed every time I see it.

It's the sort of thing that can and should be kept to newsletters.
