Adobe Creative Cloud applications store content in Adobe's Creative Cloud or in locations specified by you, the user, when saving files. Files stored in the Creative Cloud may also be cached locally to your device(s).
Data Storage
Your data will be stored in one of three ways:
-
Adobe Creative Cloud: some applications only work with data in the cloud. View files saved in the cloud at www.adobe.com/files.
-
Adobe Creative Cloud with a local copy synced (DISCONTINUED): “Creative Cloud Files” folder on my device automatically syncs with Creative Cloud.
-
Local storage: Hard drive, other cloud storage, etc. I choose to save my files to specific locations.
