We’ve just added some new features to the Creative Cloud web site that make it even easier for you to manage your files. Now when you sign in you’ll see both “list view” and “grid view” icons in the upper right corner of the files page. The list view includes details like name, size, and last modified date, and it allows you to select multiple files for moving or deletion. You’ll also notice a new “trash” icon: use this to see all the files you’ve deleted. From there, you can permanently erase the files or, if need be, restore them to their previous location.
In addition to improving the web experience, we’re currently hard at work putting the finishing touches onto our desktop sync client, Creative Cloud Connection; we’ll keep you updated on our progress here. In the mean time, if you have any questions or feedback, we’d love to hear it.

Great news on the desktop client keep up the good work
Just FYI, a few shortcomings I’ve noticed.
While you can check everything you want in the list, there is still no button to download them all at once (for InDesign users, this means a lot of separate downloads to get one packaged document.
When you do download something, the download dropdown menu is persistent, even after it’s downloaded. This may be so you can download multiple formats, but it seems like having to hit cancel to go back to the previous folder is not the best approach.
Also, since I work with people that are still using CS4, it would be helpful if I could upload a .indml from InDesign, and have them be able to see a preview. Otherwise, I still have to store a PDF on CC, and the original at home, and the .indml, and it isn’t really simplifying anything (well it is, but could still be better).
Great…Now when can I save directly to CC from the apps?
Why can I not share folders or multiple files? I have to share files one by one? Not nice.
We’re continuing to work on additional file sharing capabilities. We’ll get updates out as quickly as we can.
Really disappointed it’s taken this long to get Creative Cloud Connection out but, hey, at least it sounds like it may be released soon.
When will the Creative Cloud Connection be available? Any status updates? It has been weeks since the last post, update please.
Will the desktop client support standard folder structure?
If not let please me know so I can ditch Creative Cloud and go back to using CS5 with Dropbox until it’s actually fit for release.
Will there be app support to go along with the new client? It would be very cool to share or move around files with an app.
Great to hear that the Creative Cloud Connection is nearing completion
Any news on the creative cloud connection? The finishing touches were being applied over a month ago?
Is Comment Notification in the works?
I second and third the important need to be able to share folders/multiple files at once and not one at a time. This is an essential part of anyone’s workflow, saving a lot of time when collaborating and sending samples to clients. I pray the CCC will also feature this, so I can forever leave Dropbox and MyCloudApp behind.
Would love to share videos over the cloud so they could see the file without having to download. Of course, it would be great for them to be able to add comments like the way acrobat.com used to work. That was amazing and I hope that’s the direction the CC team is planning on taking the development of this awesome service.

Being able to share and annotate many different types of media is an important goal for the sharing features in Creative Cloud. I’ll take pass your feedback back into engineering discussions.
I am using CC to its fullest capacity – to date – REALLY need the CC desktop syncing to be available soon. It’s IS the missing link to make all of this work. Hope it makes it out soon….
We are working hard on desktop sync and will be pushing it out as soon as it’s ready.
Good to hear but, to be fair, desktop sync has been promised since the Cloud was launched. ‘Soon’ is not really precise enough for what is a core feature of the Cloud.
Today is August 18. CS6/CC launched May 7. We were told then—multiple times—that Creative Cloud Connection would be available “in a few weeks.” It has been almost 15 weeks. I hope Adobe has learned its lesson about promising software will be ready at or soon after launch; I know I’ve learned my lesson about believing Adobe’s availability promises.
Hi! hope the CC connection comes soon, we really need it to speed up our file organization. Is it possible to ssh? ftp? remotely mount the filesystem? thanks!
Some missing features that would make CC my only way to communicate with clients:
*comments and annotations over the images (without asking a required email address every time! now my clients keep sending emails because comments are not working without specifying an email address…very annoying)
* video support and timestamped comments on timeline
* saving and uploading from desktop apps (and get back the CC file url without leaving the app)
* notification on new comments or at least a dashboard with new comments listed
Maybe a lot of this stuff it’s already in the works (I hope), but having these features will definitely make CC more and more useful for us!
the cloud is really worthless with out the desktop sync drop box is much better so far its just a way to down load and install the apps
I had Indesign 5.5 for CS review – now pulled. I have CS6 for CCC “available in a few weeks” – still not there (Aug 21 2012). Can I have some money back?
Nice work on the grid/list view but seriously guys, this is WAY down the list of needs for your clients, who DESPERATELY need 1) notifications when a viewer leaves comments and 2) THE ABILITY TO SHARE FOLDERS. Both of these are cloud sharing 101 and despite the fact that I like your interface, they’re glaring indications that the product was released before it was truly ready. You want pros to take this thing seriously? Drop everything, stop trying to make it look pretty, just make it functional.
Will we get credit for the time we can’t use Creative Cloud?? Just got a new computer
and can’t upload Creative Cloud–now I have no Photoshop, Lightroom or In Design.
Why is the CC sounding worse and worse the more I read about it?
C’mon guys: We need CCC. Why is it so complicated to realize it and why you don’t say “We need 6 weeks.” or something like that? I’m waiting and waiting and I pay my monthly subscription.
This is pissing me off!!!
I just want to reiterate the folder sharing imperative. I just loaded 200 photos to a folder in CC, and have no intention of repeating the following workflow 200 times:
1. Click on image.
2. Click “Public”
3. Click “Allow Download”
4a. Copy url
4ai. paste url into email to client
-or-
4b. Enter an email address
4bi. Click “Share link via email.”
I wish I’d looked at this blog first. I had no idea that a concept this seemingly necessary would be overlooked on release of a product with competitors. It didn’t even occur to me that it wouldn’t be an option. “Would you like some water? We don’t have glasses yet. Cup your hands. We’ll have glasses in a few weeks.”
Without the CCC, I don’t really see the point of using the Adobe cloud to store files. It doesn’t seem fair that we should be paying for an advertised service that is always “a few weeks away” or “coming soon.”
Adobe, what are you doing with our money!!!???
We’ve paid for four months of our subscription and you’re simply not delivering!
Is it possible that it really takes 10.5 weeks to put on the finishing touches?
Quote (June 29, 2012): “we’re currently hard at work putting the finishing touches onto our desktop sync client, Creative Cloud Connection…”
Why don’t you even keep this promise?
“…we’ll keep you updated on our progress here.”
You have lots of videos on AdobeTV that show the little icon in the mac menu bar, why you don’t at least give us the beta that they are all using?
It’s time to charge interest for the money we’ve been loaning Adobe for their development!
Paid for the 5th time. That’s nearly half of my one year contract and I still don’t have a key feature I was promised when I signed up. Way to go and over-promise/under-deliver to your paying customers, Adobe. Being untruthful and non-transparent are bad customer service practices. Instead of addressing your customers in a courteous manner, you just ignore us.
I’m with you all.
I got 20gb of free but useless space.
I would love to use CCC for my file sharing, but its becoming hard to wait.
COME ON ADOBE.
You signed us all up for CC on the promise it will expedite all updates, but where is CCC?
Great to hear about CC, I need it to speed up my file organization. update please.
Any idea if file sharing will ever happen. I was told at photoshop world las vegas that it would be out within a few days. Is that going to happen? I’m a little worried based on all the comments I am reading.

Hello,
Can we get an update on the Creative Cloud Connection sync software?
Thanks.
Marcel
We are a yearbook company that utilizes indesign for hundreds of students. This CCC would be a perfection alternative to what we are currently using. Please let me know as soon as this is available for testing.
So it’s October, any updates on entire folder sharing?
I know this has been a popular feature request but I haven’t heard of any updates on it yet.

Hello? Is anyone there? What is happening with this?
I sold my boss on the upgrade to Cloud based on this feature. I was mortified to learn that Connection was not actually included in the download. You can imagine how fantastic it is for me every month that we get billed, and yet still cannot use the Connection function. At the very least I need a biweekly update. Please, please give me something that I can use to deflect her anger back onto you folks, because lets be honest, you screwed up, and while I know you are all human, and mistakes happen, and I have a lot of sympathy for that, I do not appreciate being left to bear the brunt of her mounting anger because I have no further information regarding the delays.
Updates. Give us updates for the love of God.
