Am I doing this wrong? Relinking InDesign Assets from CC Libraries

[default2aavegfvjmli]

Hello, I'm transitioning from working on my desktop to working on the cloud. I have uploaded all my assets to the CC Library, and organized them into folders. I've noticed I have many duplicates because I have both the photoshop file, and the png file, the latter I would use for placing in indesign.

My goal is to relink my assets from my desktop, to their new home in the CC library, however I am finding this difficult. Each indesign template I've created has about 100-200 assets. I am noticing the following:

-I cannot mass relink "search for missing links" in my CC library like I could from my desktop. Instead each asset needs to be found and linked manually.

-the search function does not work when it relinking mode. I need to scroll and scroll through my assets to find the correct one.

Am I doing this correctly? I can't imagine adobe pushing us to use the cloud (discontinuing sync) when their CC library is this unintuitive. Am I missing something?

You are missing the fact that the CC Libraries thing is not good at what you are trying to do. 

Don't do it. It has too many serious limitations.

You need some sort of cloud based storage, like google drive, dropbox, or the like.

At this point, CC Libraries is indeed a rather half-baked solution that's not particularly robust or efficient.

You'd be much better off using the real cloud solutions such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.

I know you already invested time in moving everything to CC libraries. But, in the end, you'll save much more time and hassle by moving your workflow into one of the aforementioned servers.
