Explorer ,
Mar 11, 2024 Mar 11, 2024

Does anyone know how to stop adobestock from syncing the pics i download to my library? Everytime i download a photo, it appears in the Library with my other teammates. Annoys everyone as that Library gets clogged with stuff. I have to manually delete. Thanks!

@lwt89 I believe what you are looking is the settings below. When the dialog "Saved to Library" pops up, click on it. It will bring up this dialog. Help it helps.

It pops up, when you licence an asset.

You need to click "Manage".

Is there a way to access these settings other than through the 'manage' button? The browser save box jumps in front to download the image, and the manage button is gone before I can hit 'save'.

What is your system and screen size? Make the browser full screen and eventually get the magnification down. It seems to be an issue with the display on your screen.

I use à 34 in super wide screen. Just made it full screen and saw the option. (I never use web browser in fullscreen because of the width of my screen!!) Thanks!

I'm happy that the issue has been solved now for you.

 

It's OK not to use the browser in full screen. I normally use 2 screens, so the browser or any application is normally full screen., Everybody works as it is best for them, but my guess was that your window was to small for the option to appear, given your description. I guessed you where using a phone, as even on my iPad, it works as required. The option is sticky, so it will last until you decide otherwise.

I don't see the two on-off button. I only gets to choose where I DONT WANT to save in library GRRRR!!!

Adobe: I never asked for this AND please ad an option that you can find other than when you aquire an asset please.

This is ridiculus.

It looks like a way to fill our cloud space so you can then propose to sell cloud space afterward.

Please fix this as it's less than productive to delete one-by-one each asset after aquiring it.

What system and browser do you use? This is a standard option, and it is working like that for aeons. Check with a different browser, to see if the browser obstructs part of the design. Or check on a different computer.

How do I make these preferences permanent? I have to do this every time I sign in. Is there a way to save these preferences to my account? I don't want assets I download saved to my libraries.

They are sticky. They are even sticky across my different computers.
