Collaborate on folders and libraries from Creative Cloud account

Learn how to collaborate on folders and libraries with other users, from your Adobe Creative Cloud account.

You can collaborate with other users and share a private folder from your Creative Cloud account with specified users. All invited users can then work co-operatively with read-only (locked) assets in a shared private folder. Collaborators can view, edit, rename, move, or delete contents of the shared folder if they've been granted the necessary access rights and permissions.

To share public links to files and folders with others (share assets with read-only access), see Share files and folders.

For more information about libraries in Creative Cloud, see Creative Cloud Libraries.

You can share libraries with collaborators using the Creative Cloud website or from within Creative Cloud desktop and mobile apps.

For a list of Creative Cloud apps currently supporting libraries, see Creative Cloud Libraries.

Note:

Collaborators require an Adobe ID. If they don't already have an Adobe ID, they can create one when they accept the invitation.
Currently, Creative Cloud Libraries is not yet using the Your Work section of Creative Cloud web interface.

Do the following to share a library from within a desktop application supporting Creative Cloud Libraries:

In the Libraries panel, select a library from the pop-up menu.

Open the drop-down list and choose Collaborate.

In the browser page that opens, provide email addresses and an optional message for one or more collaborators with whom you want to share the library.

Choose whether you want to give the collaborators Edit permissions (Can edit) or View permissions (Can view). These permissions apply to all the collaborators whose email addresses you entered.

Click Invite to send out the collaboration invites.

Note:

Useful considerations regarding permissions:

Can edit: Collaborators having Can edit permissions can change the permissions for other collaborators. Collaborators with view-only permissions can see who the owner and collaborators are, but they can't make changes to their collaboration permissions.
Can view: Collaborators with view-only permissions can copy the contents of the shared folder to a new folder and make changes privately to them.
Editors and viewers can leave a collaboration at any time.

Click Invite. Creative Cloud sends out the collaboration invites.

Your collaborators receive an email message inviting them to join the collaboration and informing them whether they have edit or view permissions. Existing Creative Cloud members also receive a notification via the Creative Cloud desktop app and website.

Creative Cloud Libraries collaboration invite

Your collaborators receive this email message inviting them to join the collaboration.

The Collaborators dialog displays the status of the invites. Collaborators who haven't yet accepted the invite have 'Invited' displayed next to their names/email IDs. Once a collaborator has accepted the invite, this string is no longer displayed.

To remove a user, click the X icon next to the user, and click Remove Access (if the collaborator has accepted the invitation) or Remove Invitation (if the collaborator has not yet accepted the invitation).

Can edit

Collaborators can edit, rename, move, and delete the contents of the folder.

Can view

Collaborators can only view the contents of the folder and comment on them.
