Ability to merge 2 accounts data or quick switch feature between accounts

[Rachel O'Brien]

I have two separate Adobe accounts. In its creation, I used both of these for independent reasons. Now, I do not need the separation, and there is no way to merge these data sources into one account so I can deactivate one of them. Unfortunately, I have essential documents in both accounts. I was informed by tech support that the only way to do this is to download all the data of one and move them manually to the other. As someone who had multiple concurrent plans for years now this seems ridiculous! Especially for a company that is so crucial to business and financial institutions. With cloud storage being the recommended industry option, this seems like a massive oversight. Even if merging is impossible, a switch account feature would vastly improve the absolute pain of manually logging in and out routine when locating a specific document. This can be accomplished in several ways (program development/web development), and it should be addressed sooner rather than later since this organization is so crucial to business, education, and finance industries.

did you want to make a suggestion to adobe?

[Rachel O'Brien]

Absolutely! From what I have seen, this massive flaw has been mentioned to
Adobe several times over the last 2 years. And still hasn't been addressed
to this date. I was told today even that's all tech support could offer.
The options offered today were:

1) I manually move all data from one account to the other myself,
2) purchase a new plan to use an app to try and transfer, but it is not a
certainty it would work or
3) suggest an idea here in the forums for improvement.

I went to submit the idea only to realize that the "Ideas" category for the
account threads isn't even available—only discussions. At the same time,
all the apps have a discussion AND an idea thread. As someone working on my
degree in software development, I'm genuinely perplexed why this issue
hasn't been addressed in over two years, especially from an organization as
large as Adobe. With this being the dominating organization in this field,
how are these attributes not being considered, as this would keep several
entities preferring your product?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hi @Rachel O'Brien , the ability to switch accounts from the Account Menu is something we're looking to enable this year.

That's fantastic to hear! Look forward to being able to utilize that
feature!

I hav ejust been around the same loop for 2 days now. I had a personal account linked to work account with same email address. My work upgraded and that cancelled my personal subscription with 21Gb of stored psd files. I firstly resubscribed with another email address - but Adobe told me I would have to move my files 1 by 1 by sharing them with the other account. Then I cancelled that decided to use the work account as it had all the same access - but Adobe still can't migrate the files from the personal cloud space to my Team cloud space, and again suggested only sharing them one link at a time. With 21Gb of psd files that is just not feasible so I have decided to write them off and start fresh, but it's super annoying.
