What does cloud storage include?

Your total cloud storage depends on your plan. The files stored in any of the following locations together count toward your total cloud storage. Free membership storage is contingent on the active use of Adobe’s products and services.

Together count toward total cloud storage

Creative Cloud

 Lightroom

Document Cloud

Adobe Express app
 
  • All documents
  • Starred files
  • Shared files
  • Projects and brand files
  • Graphics and Web pages
  • Videos
Note:
  • When webpages are published using Adobe Express, a snapshot of the webpage is created and stored in your account, consuming additional quota. To free up this space, you can unpublish or delete the original webpage file. For detailed instructions on how to unpublish a webpage, see here.
  • Files shared for review are duplicated upon sharing, which increases quota usage. You can manage and delete these review files as needed through your account. To access your review files, see here.

What happens if I exceed my storage quota?

If a user exceeds the Creative Cloud storage limit, new files cannot be created. But if users exceed the quota while working on existing files, they can finish the task as long as it's within 1 GB. A red exclamation mark appears if a file can't be synced, but you can still move, rename or delete files.

Users should regularly monitor their storage usage and delete unnecessary files to stay within their allotted quota.

Maximum number of files and folders

You can store as many files and folders as your cloud storage allows, but you cannot sync more than the following number of files and folders:

  • 350,000 files
  • 150,000 folders

This doesn't include the files, folders, or sub-folders shared with you by others. Also note that files and folders you haven't deleted permanently still count toward your cloud storage. 

Delete files permanently to free up cloud storage

Ensure that your deleted files aren't using valuable storage by deleting them permanently. Learn how to permanently delete files to free up storage.

To continue to sync files, and save more files on the cloud upgrade your storage.

Review partially synced photos and videos in Lightroom

Partially synced files in Lightroom occupy storage space. If you are a Lightroom user, you can clear storage by synchronizing or uploading photos and videos.

  1. Go to lightroom.adobe.com and select All Photos > Sync Issues in the panel.

  2. Follow the onscreen instructions to sync or delete the unsynchronized items. 

    Note:

    Ensure the original files are available on your devices, as unsynced photos and videos will not be saved to the cloud once deleted. 

Once you complete the above steps, storage space reserved to sync the photos and videos will be cleared.

How do I upgrade my cloud storage?

If you need more storage, you can purchase extra storage plans through your Adobe ID account. For instructions, see:
