I want to know when an update arrives, how large the file is. how big is the update in MB, and how many files are being downloaded. I'm surprised this isn't in a drop-down menu in the CCD client. Where do I find this information for every update that comes along?

There may, be hope.

ProDesignTools has direct downloads for the Adobe Creative Cloud apps. I picked 2018 at random, but he has links going well back right up to current versions.

Interesting question, but do you know of any software that provides this information when an update arrives? Where do you find this information with your other software?

Apologies for the 10-day delay in seeing your question.

@jane-e, for some driver and bios updates, the size of the update is typically indicated. I read this question several days ago, but couldn't find where Adobe provides this info, either. I think it would be helpful to know.

ETA: Another example is Microsoft Office apps such as Outlook:

Do you see that information before or after you download?

Microsoft says this:

"The following tables show the approximate download size when updating from the previous release of Microsoft 365 Apps to the most current release. Actual download sizes might vary, by as much as 50 mb. If you are updating from an older release to the current release, your download size could be larger. If you are switching to a different channel, for example from Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) to Semi-Annual Channel, your update size could be considerably larger than what's listed in the table. It could entail a full download, which could be at least 1 GB."
