A Creative Cloud membership includes cloud-based storage, which allows you to access files stored in the cloud from any computer using a web browser. The cloud storage is made up of three different areas: Creative Cloud, Lightroom, and Document Cloud. Stored content can be accessed online as follows.
- Creative Cloud - https://assets.adobe.com
- Lightroom - https://lightroom.adobe.com
- Document Cloud - https://documentcloud.adobe.com
Here are answers to some common questions related to using and managing this storage.
If you have a full Adobe Creative Cloud membership or a single app membership, you have 100GB storage. If you have a Creative Cloud Photography membership, you have 20GB or 1TB storage. If you have a trial product or a free membership, you have 2GB storage. Creative Cloud for teams and Creative Cloud for enterprise memberships include 100GB of storage per seat.

The Creative Cloud desktop app syncs up to 1GB overflow from any device. After that, the sync client stops syncing new files and notifies that you are over quota. A red exclamation point marks any files that are unable to upload. You can still move, rename, or delete files. To continue to sync files, permanently delete other files to free up space.
If you need more storage, you can purchase extra storage plans through your Adobe ID account (Plans > Manage Plan > Change Plan). For detailed instructions, see Upgrade your Creative Cloud storage.
Alternatively, click Upgrade Storage on the lower-left corner of Your Work section of Creative Cloud website.
If you are a Premiere Rush user, and want to upgrade storage, see Adobe Premiere Rush file storage requirements and upgrades.
You can delete files from Creative Cloud Files folder, the Lightroom website, and Document Cloud to free up the storage space used.

To delete photos from your photo library, select them and choose Delete from the options that are displayed. In the confirmation box that appears, select Delete photos to delete them.

If you delete a photo, it gets removed from the Cloud and from all your synced devices. So it’s a good idea to make its copy outside of Lightroom before you delete it from Lightroom.
To delete files from the Document Cloud, select them and choose Delete from the options that are displayed on the right. In the confirmation box that appears, select Continue to delete these files.
Note:
The files, assets, and contents that are shared via collaboration also consume space from each collaborator’s storage quota.
