Can't install plugin-can't find plugin folder ANYWHERE

I've been searching for the Adobe Photoshop plugin folder for the past half hour but it doesn't seem to exist on my computer? I'm not sure how this is possible. I'm currently using Photoshop CC, and when I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe

my only options are:

Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Experience

Adobe Sync

Flash Player

But according to what I've read, I should have a Photoshop folder in this destination, and within the photoshop folder, a plugin folder. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi

Plug ins should now be installed in the common files folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC          This way they will still be available when newer versions of Photoshop are installed.

If you are looking for an older plug in that is not in teh common files folder then check C:\Program Files\Adobe\[Photoshop version]\Plug-ins

On the Mac side it's:

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC

Photoshop is now a 64 bit app. Program files (X86) is for 32 bit apps.

    Oh my gosh i'm so embarrassed...I didn't realize the adobe photoshop under the program files was actually a clickable file folder. Okay..Nevermind...I solved my problem.
