Set file cache location

Last updated on Jun 10, 2026

Learn how to manage the cache location for Adobe cloud files in Acrobat on Android.

When you open files from Adobe cloud storage, Acrobat saves a local copy to speed up access. You can choose to save these files to your device's internal storage or an SD card. The SD card option is only available if your Android device supports removable storage.

Note

This setting is currently not available on iOS.

Go to Acrobat on Android and tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.

Select Preferences.

Select Adobe cloud storage Cache Location.

In the dialog box, choose a storage location:

  • Internal storage (secure): Saves files to your device's permanent memory, where only Acrobat can access them.
  • SD card (available to all apps): Saves files to your SD card, where other apps can access them. The SD card can also be removed from the device.

Going forward, files you open from Adobe cloud storage are cached in the location you selected.
