To move files from Adobe Cloud to your computer, you'll essentially be downloading them from the cloud storage and placing them in a local folder on your machine. Here's how:
Steps to Download Files from Adobe Cloud:
-
Open the Creative Cloud desktop app: Ensure you're signed in using the Adobe account containing the files you want to move.
-
Access the Sync Folder: Click on "File" in the Creative Cloud desktop app, then select "Open Sync Folder." This will open the folder on your computer that's actively syncing with your Adobe Cloud storage.
-
Move Files: Simply copy or move the desired files or folders from the Creative Cloud files folder to any other folder on your computer. For example, you might want to move them to your "Documents" folder, a specific project folder, or your desktop.
Alternatively, you can download files directly from the Adobe Creative Cloud website:
-
Go to the Adobe Creative Cloud website: Access the website at https://assets.adobe.com/files and sign in to your account.
-
Locate Your Files: Browse through your files and folders in the web interface.
-
Download Individual Files or Folders:
- To download a single file: Select the file, then click the "Download" button (usually a downward-pointing arrow).
- To download a folder: Select the folder, then look for a "Download" option (may be in a three-dot menu or similar). The folder will typically be downloaded as a ZIP file.
-
Extract Downloaded Folders (if necessary): If you downloaded a folder as a ZIP file, locate the ZIP file on your computer (usually in your "Downloads" folder) and extract its contents to your desired location.
Important Considerations:
- Syncing: Be aware that any changes you make to files within the Creative Cloud sync folder on your computer will automatically sync back to the Adobe Cloud. If you only want a local copy, move the files out of the sync folder after downloading.
- Storage: Ensure you have sufficient storage space on your computer to accommodate the files you're downloading.
- Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is required for downloading files from the Adobe Cloud.
- File Types: Ensure your computer has the necessary software to open the file types you are downloading (e.g., Photoshop files require Photoshop, etc.).
