Anyone else get an email from #Adobe about changes to how they sync files in #CreativeCloud?
It's written in corporate-speak ("We're improving things!"/We're actually making things worse) so I'm not 100% clear what is happening. It seems to be saying syncing will stop, but in the same email also says some files will remain in sync.
@beach I got it too, and also could not make any sense of it. I seemed to have loads of cloud-held files: my creative cloud folder on my computer auto mirrored online, an InDesign publish online option (super handy like Issuu), Acrobat seemed to hold things online that I never asked for, and every app now asks if I'm mad for saving files to my computer. It's all a bit all over the place and not reassuring, which is exactly why I'm saving to my computer!
@beach after reading the email, I actually felt less sure of the cloud service than before. Plus, whenever I get an email like that from a subscription service, unless it's really clear, my immediate reaction is to think they are out to get me; either increasing the price, or reducing function
@beach@ronanmcd I believe they’re getting rid of the sync service - the Dropbox-like part of the CC cloud offering; so files will no longer be synced up/down to your Mac/PC. I never used this feature tbh ✌️
@benmounseywood@beach it's funny, because I would have thought this would be the most likely to be kept. It's the only intuitive part, the Save Online feature seems very much like you put files where they decide, meaning you can't use your own system or logic (or chaos in many cases😂)
