Launch Creative Cloud apps

When you download and install Creative Cloud apps, they are installed in the same location where your applications are normally installed, such as the Program Files folder (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac OS).

With Creative Cloud desktop app, you can easily see all your Creative Cloud apps at a glance and launch them with a click. You can also launch your apps the same way you normally launch any app on your computer, from their installed location.

The Creative Cloud desktop app downloads and installs apps in the Applications folder. Use the Finder to navigate to the Applications folder, and then double-click the app's icon to launch the application.

For easier access to an app, you can drag the app’s icon to the Dock. For more information, see Mac Basics: The Dock on the Apple website.

Creative Cloud desktop app installs your apps in the Program Files folder. It also creates shortcuts in the Start screen or the Start menu.

Launch your installed apps from the Start screen. Access the Start screen using the Windows key or icon. Scroll the screen to locate the app, and then click to launch it.

For more information, see Start Screen tutorial on the Microsoft website.

When your Creative Cloud app is installed, app shortcuts are added to the Windows product menus. Choose Start > All Programs and then click the app.

For easier access, you can pin the shortcut to the taskbar. Choose Start > All Programs, right-click the application name, and choose Pin to Taskbar.
