When you select Show Cloud Documents, you see three options: Cloud Documents, Shared with You, and Deleted. Click on Cloud Documents to see the contents of the Creative Cloud files folder that exists on your computer. (See Figure 3-8.) The items in the Creative Cloud files folder on your computer are synced with the items in the cloud. You can use this available space in many ways: for storage of virtually any files, documents, images, branding elements and more.

FIGURE 3-8: Click on Show Cloud Documents in order to see and manage the documents you saved to the Creative Cloud.

If you are looking for extra space to store or to easily share your files, look no further than your Creative Cloud files folder. Follow these steps in order to store files in the Creative Cloud:

1 Open your Creative Cloud app.

2 Click the Cloud Activity icon (the cloud) in the upper-right of the Creative Cloud app and then click the gear icon.The Sync settings appear here, as well as the location of the Creative Cloud files folder, as shown in Figure 3-9.FIGURE 3-9: Your Sync settings and the location of your Creative Cloud folder.

3 Open your Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer.

4 When the folder appears, drag and drop any files you want to save into the Creative Cloud Files folder. Of course, you can copy and paste files as well.This folder acts like any other folder on your computer. You can open your files, edit them, save them back to the same folder or another, and delete them. The main difference with the contents in this folder is that you can also access the files via the web.

5 To access your files via the web, launch the Creative Cloud application, click Your Work, and then select Show Cloud Documents.Keep in mind that you can also manage your cloud documents right in the Creative Cloud app. Right-click on any document shown in the cloud documents to select functions such as Share, Delete, and more. See Figure 3-10.

Not only can you access your own files anywhere by signing into the Creative Cloud on any computer, but you can also share them with others. You can do this directly in the Creative Cloud Files folder or on the web. The following directions tell you how.

To share from the Creative Cloud Files folder:

1 Click Your Work and then click Show Cloud Documents if they are not already visible.

2 Right-click on a file that you wish to share to see the contextual menu. (Ctrl-click if you do not have a right-clicking mouse.)FIGURE 3-10: You can manage your cloud files in the Creative Cloud app.

3 Choose the Creative Cloud menu item and Send Link from the submenu. On the Mac, choose Share Link from the contextual menu.

4 If you have not previously shared the selected file, you first need to make it a public link. When the dialog box appears indicating that your link is private, click the Create Public Link button.

5 Copy and paste the provided link into your correspondence with the people to whom you want to give access to your file or project.

To share from the Creative Cloud app:

1 Go to Your Work and select Show Cloud Documents.

2 Right-click (Ctrl-click if you do not have a right-clicking mouse) on a file’s thumbnail.

3 Select Invite to Edit.

4 When the Share dialog box appears, enter the email of the person you wish to share the document with and any additional information in the Message text field, as shown in Figure 3-11.

Keep in mind that you can also share directly from the application you are working in. You will find out how to do this later, when discussing the individual applications.
