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

Note:

Starting December 11, 2023, new users and organizations will not be entitled to Creative Cloud Synced files. Starting February 1, 2024, Creative Cloud Synced files will be discontinued for personal accounts that existed before December 11, 2023 (learn more here). Starting October 1, 2024, Creative Cloud Synced files will be discontinued for business accounts associated with organizations that existed before December 11, 2023 (learn more here).

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, folders, and libraries with others (share assets with read-only access), see Share files and folders.

You can share libraries with collaborators using Adobe Home, Creative Cloud desktop and mobile apps, and the Creative Cloud desktop app. For a list of Creative Cloud apps currently supporting libraries, see Creative Cloud Libraries.
