Manage Adobe storage

With the updates to Adobe Creative Cloud storage, you have full control and visibility of storage across your Creative Cloud applications. The storage quotas are flexible for end users up to the amount of storage purchased by the organization.

After Adobe storage with the updates is provisioned for your organization, a Storage tab is displayed in the Admin Console for administrators. If you are a system administrator, you can manage individual user folders and shared storage through the Storage tab. You can also view how much quota is used by individual users and the overall quota consumed by all the users. This tab is also visible to users that you delegate a Storage administrator role.

Storage overview

Storage repository

All the content uploaded by the users are stored inside a storage repository that the organization owns. By default, the name that we give to this repository is the same as the name of your organization on the Admin Console. While the name of an organization on the Admin Console cannot be changed after the organization is set up, you can rename your storage repository.

When end users upload libraries to be shared across organizations, they would be able to know which organization they are sharing with, through the name of the storage repository.

View shared storage

In the Shared storage page, you can view, search, delete, and view details of shared folders. Shared folders are used to store Creative Cloud libraries so that they are automatically shared with all users of the organization. Creative Cloud Libraries accelerate work by reducing clicks in the creative process, making it easy for designers to use the right assets and for organizations to control the use of assets. For more, see Creative Cloud Libraries for business.

View details of shared folders

As an administrator, you can view details of shared folders, including information about end users and folder paths in the Asset library.

Manage individual user folders

The Individual user folders page includes the Active Users and Inactive Users tabs. The Active Users tab lists the folders of end users that are currently in the system. The Inactive Users tab lists folders of users that are no longer in the system. You can view details of folders in either category. You can also permanently delete folders of inactive users.
