I really don't love this thing

• I don't love that I can't turn OFF file sync that I never use
• I don't love that many top-level items (like ‘Stock & Marketplace’) are false fronts that just open a web browser.
• I don’t love that prominent UI here is trying to sell me more seats — and I can’t hide it!?!
• I don’t love that it can’t auto-fill the 2FA login codes when they come in via text message

Thank you for letting me vent about this thing

@cabel Wow, you make it sound like you are still using Adobe software while we all know that 17 years ago we ran for dear life the minute we double clicked the Creative Suite 3 installer icon and were shocked that they actually shipped an alpha level user experience. Horrifying that what used to lead to an installer application now showed us the ugly contents of a folder that some build job spit out like a baseball player would do with his chewing tobacco.

@nier yea it’s truly the worst BUT I am extremely fast within these apps and can churn out work at a fever pitch and it’s too late to transfer that speed anywhere else

I turned off file sync years ago, and it's never been a problem for me, so I'm confused.

@EverydayMoggie Whoah!! Can you please show me where I can turn it off! All I can ever find is a “Pause” feature — but I don’t even want the folder on my disk, or the processes running.

I look forward to learning more!

I will look around. I honestly don't remember now.

It appears I just paused it permanently, before anything was ever synced. I'm also saving my files onto a different drive, not into the default folder. Maybe that's why it works?

@EverydayMoggie Ah yes. Yeah, I leave it “Paused” also, but it still makes the folder on disk, and puts “Creative Cloud Files” in my Sidebar, and keeps the background processes running, and……… 🥲

@cabel @EverydayMoggie That stupid Finder sidebar item just keeps coming back after every restart.
