The support for a simple Adobe Stock issue is awful and has proven impossible to resolve but support won't understand what's going on and avoid the issue. The old folders of saved images and licensed images on Adobe stock have just disappeared and I can't get them back. I have raised a complaint case id ADB-28643095-P4Y9. The support from Adobe has been awful, ineffective and unreliable.
Here's my chat history over a few months excluding the actual calls we've had with them. It's unacceptable to have an issue like this drag on and for there to be no accountability and no clear way how to escalate issues/complain.

Can you look into that?

In the Libraries panel, enter a keyword in the search field. Then select the down arrow, and select Adobe Stock from the menu to find assets. (If the Libraries panel is not open, choose Window > Libraries or Window > Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries

hello?
Neha
Alright, I can send you invoices for your individual account but I would like to guide that there are no invoices for the entitlements.
I'm not talking about invoices. I need the folders to show up that we created in the account. Right now we can't see the ones we used to have access to.
I've reported it a few times and no one has actually fixed this
No in order to find an image we previously licensed, I have to look in license history and I can't find images we previously saved to a folder which is causing lots of issues
we created some new folders but have lost all the old ones
this is about the 4th time we're trying to resolve this issue with Adobe support
4:52 PM
Neha
Apologies, let me arrange a callback for you to the dedicated team who can fix this for you.
Please help me with your callback details:
Call back number
Time zone:
The right time to call:
Name:
Please note that you would receive the callback within 24-48 business working hours.
if it does not get fixed I'll have to escalate this
we've already had a call back on Wednesday and it was not fixed
Can you just restore the old folders that we used to have or what is actually going on?
4:53 PM
Neha
Apologies for the inconvenience, I would schedule this call with an expert since this is the second time you had to come for the same issue.
4:54 PM
No it's the 4th time
Neha
Since this is related to the individual account and I can help you with a technical issue, I will have to schedule a callback.
It's related to a teams account as you just mentioned
Why are you saying it's an individual account?
Neha
Alright please stay connected let me transfer you right away to the dedicated team.
I've already been transferred to you so who are you wanting to transfer me to?
