Saving files to Adobe Cloud Storage

Adobe Creative Cloud accounts come with 80GB of cloud storage. To save space in local storage, it is recommended to save projects and resources to the Adobe Cloud.

Some Adobe applications can save files as native cloud documents. These include Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Fresco, and Aero.

To save a file as a cloud document:

  1. Go to the File menu and select any of the Save commands: Save, Save As, or Save a Copy.

  2. You will be presented with the cloud document picker.

  3. Select Save to cloud documents.


Existing files can be moved to the cloud.

To do so:

  1. Open the Creative Cloud app and navigate to the Files tab

  2. Select Your libraries in the left panel

  3. Select the library you want to save the file to, or create a new one

  4. Select the + button on the right side

  5. Select Upload file

The files you selected will be uploaded to the Adobe Cloud and can be deleted from local storage. When the files are needed again they can be downloaded again from the Creative Cloud app.


Using these methods will allow you to clear up and save space in your local storage.
