After installing Creative Cloud on two of my PCs I started to upload files to it. Soon I discovered that a new folder "Creative Cloud Files" was created on both PCs, and everything I'd uploaded to the cloud was also (seemingly) synced to these folders. That defies the purpose of having 1TB Cloud storage. I want to move to the Cloud what I don't have space for otherwise. Opening the "Preferences" page on the Creative Cloud desktop app, I find no way of deciding against syncing files that I upload "back" to my PCs. There's a "Creative Cloud Sync" check box which says ".. stop syncing your files and libraries to Creative Cloud...". It's not fully explained what this means. Will, for example, unchecking this stop photos I add to Lightroom from being stored in the Cloud? What is a "library"? Further, where can I specify that I do NOT want files that I UPLOAD to be copied locally to my other devices? Adding to this, there was no wizard of guide to tell me about these things when I installed Creative Cloud. Another matter is the complete confusion of terms. "Creative Cloud" appears to be an overall brand name for Adobe.. stuff... And also the name of the (actual) Cloud storage service. While most apps are not Cloud-apps at all, they are locally installed. Not to mention that the Creative Cloud storage service is not seamlessly integrated with (for example) Lightroom: Within Lightroom, I do NOT have the option to open a photo from the Creative Cloud (assets)..! Lastly, where can I get the full overview of files that are stored in the Creative Cloud (CLOUD storage)? Looking at my current (default) settings, it appears that everything under my C:\Users\[username] folder is synced to the Cloud. Are they? How can I know? There is no "?" button or otherwise any information to explain what "Creative Cloud Sync" means. It would be simple if upon opening the Creative Cloud assets I can access everything that's stored there. But I cannot, for example, see Lightroom files, which (according to some posts on the Net) are indeed stored in the Creative Cloud. How can I know what other files are also stored there?

What happens if I switch syncing off? Will files already synced from my personal folder (?) remain in the cloud?

All in all, "Creative Cloud" is a mess. I deeply regret signing up for it.

To leave a constructive suggestion at the end:

The Creative Cloud assets page is laughable. I can scroll through my photos there, create folders and upload photos. Fine. When viewing photos, there is only ONE option for how to sort them.. "Last modified". No. I don't want it sorted like that. How about "Date created"? (Date picture was taken). More annoyingly, after I scroll around for a photo to open and open it; there is no way of closing the view mode and return to the same scrolling state. The only way is to hit the "back-arrow" button, which brings me to the TOP of the list of photos again.. And I have to scroll back down to continue my browsing. Routinely, "PageUp" and "PageDown" doesn't work for scrolling and the (tiny...!) scroll bar doesn't show. I have to do an ad-hoc browser window resize for both to be "enabled". And yes, why make the scroll-bar so tiny..?

I've been trying to find out who has access to what folders and it's a painstaking process of having to go to each folder one by one. It would be very efficient if there was a tab on the side column where we can see what folders are shared or even better, see who has access to what folders. This way we can easily add or remove users from multiple folders at the same time rather than searching for it.

So it would list the shared users and when you click on the user it would show what folders they have access to. We could add and remove permissions from one spot.

Also, the way it is now it only has a button that is not clear on who is sharing. As you have to click the person icon and then click on Invite to Folder. When it's not clear that you can actually remove a user from there too and not just invite. That is the only place I could find to do this. But this way is tedious and not efficient since I have to go by each folder to find the right one to remove them from.

Weeks ago I had an issue where every file I deleted I could not restore. This was previously called archived and I was not notified of any functionality changes if there had been. Is restoring no longer an option? I can't tell because every time I try to restore a delete file it disappears from both my deleted folder and my files. Even the test cases I create, then delete, disappear completely when I try to restore files.
Search through the support page and the assets page for a way to talk to somebody or email somebody or otherwise get acknowledged that the issue is being worked on but no.

Everything was working fine before the change to the new system. Now, all of my past work is as good as lost. And I can't even find support for the issue.

I changed Macbook and tried to reassign the manually transferred CC folder in CC preferences, but it just started to reload all my files to the cloud again... I don't understand why it's just not recognizing that files are the same. Okey, then I desided to delete everything from the cloud and sync it all from the beginning, but I just couldn't do that, because after deleting all my files are still at the cloud's trashbin. Well, trashbin's interface shows me 100 files at one time, and proposes me to delete them or restore. I have like 100.000 files there, I have to press the "clean" button for a 1000 times? I pressed it like 7 times and hate it already. How can I clean trashbin at the cloud? Mb it needs a button?
