why was Preset syncing removed in PS 25?

[Reverb]

Just asking, because it was a pretty useful feature.

I used to sync my rather large brush collection among devices.

Why remove something that's good and works?

But how is this done in the future. I didn't see anything about that or 8 missed it

I'm trying to contact support to ask why and for suggested workarounds (other than the old fashioned backup all your presets, actions, keyboard shortcuts, etc. etc.) To my surprise, I only discovered this feature today. For years using Photoshop on multiple devices was a real barrier because of missing actions, keyboard shortcuts, and other presets which may have been updated on my main desktop but not on my laptop for example. Today, I was wishing Adobe would have some sort of preset syncing solution and I feel stupid after searching and discovering that the feature had been available for a while now! But to my dismay, it was recently removed!

Adobe's explanation on their site says something about it  being "not directly aligned with Adobe’s goal of supporting creative collaboration". What? But doesn't it help a paid user use Photoshop across multiple devices?

I'll update if I hear anything new.

My guess, it costs them to much money. They need to pay for HUGE storage amounts. Its bad service if im honest
