You done a better job than Adobe's article. Kudos to you.

[reynarodriguez]

Oh, you wouldn't believe how freaked out I was a couple minutes ago! I thought this was the end of my art career, my future as an animation producer, the end of the world for me even thought 2024 just got started for all of us. I was crying nonstop, no thanks to my Asperger's syndrome, but I really needed this... so, thank you.. 😮‍💨

[sinlokemp]

Finally someone with clarity. Thank You so much. I was so confused about this whole move.

Wow, just got an email from Adobe and I was so worried until I seen your video! Thank you! 🎉

[brookec.b.]

Thank you so much for making this. I was really worried about sharing files for review and the cc libraries -- I'm very relieved that those will not be affected!

[felixholtt]

Thank you so much! I read the Adobe article several times and still didn't understand! You have made it so clear, simple and reassuring!

[burakkkk]

oh god, and here I thought if I don't download my cloud files they'll go away. tens of projects. Thanks for clarifying the situation its been really helpful 👍🏻

Hi Laura. Like everyone else, I've also been wondering how this will affect me. I really only use Sync for Lightroom between mobile devices and desktop, and occasionally Photoshop.

I see that you've covered it here: 00:30 "This does not affect your Cloud Documents from the mobile apps or ones saved to the cloud from the desktop apps", but could you clarify this a bit more? Are we losing Sync between devices and Cloud Storage. It suggests that we're not, but I'm not finding very much information online about this.

If I need to download all my photos, I'd rather do that now than wait until the last minute.

From your video, I don't think it has any impact on my workflow.

Thanks.

Bless you! this was SO needed, Adobe definitely is not explaining it well since I was about to download ALL my cloud docs into that little file folder that is the target of dc *face palm* Thank you thank you thank you for a clear and succinct visual explanation!!

[BeeMillah]

Laura, you're the best! I was a little confused about what would be affected and now I'm at peace lol. Thanks for the help! Have an amazing 2024!

[lindapilgrim]

Your explanation is much more understandable than anything I read on Adobe's website. Thank you!

[satoruozawa]

0:34 This is what I wanted to clarify 🤩 Thanks Laura

[stephaniemallon]

This was well explained and beyond comforting. Thanks a ton!

[puppylovecomics]

Thanks for sharing! i thought it was the ability of saving a psd file in my ipad then moving on to my laptop is whats changing! Also, after your explanation, turns out I barely even used their creative cloud synched files! XD

[casperbrenneche]

Thank you so much for clarifying this. I discovered this news only a few days ago and just assumed it meant I will lose my cloud files if I didn't save them to my PC and so I have just been stressing saving all my stuff.

[sk]

Oh thank you. I store most of my illustrator files on the cloud because I don’t have enough storage on my macbook. I freaked out when I read they were being deleted.

[MattChaffe]

This clears up a lot. Truly, Adobe did a poor job explaining this. If anything I think it scared people more than it really needed to. Thought I had to back up all my projects, so thank you for stopping from doing that and going insane!

[GabrielLeFrancois]

Thank you Laura. Question: Can you move your Creative Cloud Files (Adobe Sync Folder) to the "Your Files" in Adobe CC?

[SheaOSullivan]

thank you so much omg i was so confused by the way Adobe wrote it. I was so worried about my AIC files!

[bezerraneto]

Great video! You did an excellent job and explained this. I was scared to death of losing my job.
