How do you share actions between workstations via the creative cloud?

 

I cannot find a sync button, and the libraries don't seem to let you share actions.

Also, it would be good to share keyboard shortcuts between workstations as well.

@tomd29838282 You cant share actions via Creative Cloud libraries.

You can save/export the actions from Photoshop and share them via other methods.

You can save both shortcuts and actions to a file and load that file on another computer.

Thanks, guys. I understand you can do this manually. I've been using Photoshop for 19 years, but I was hoping there could be a more "cloud" in the Adobe Creative Cloud. I'm not sure why they don't do perpetual licenses if the cloud part doesn't do anything.

.atn files are indeed not yet supported in the Libraries. The Libraries are very useful for synchronizing files in your workflow, but it is not really a "pass-through" system for all file types. It is a good note that it would also be useful for sharing these types of Adobe files as well. It is somewhat absurd that you have to share those via email or other cloud systems (such as Google Drive, for example). I suspect that the Libraries will support more and more file types in the future?
