When you cancel your plan

If you decide to cancel your subscription, your account converts to a Creative Cloud free membership.

When your subscription ends, you can no longer use most Creative Cloud applications or services. However, starter plans for some apps are still available with a free Creative Cloud membership. With this free membership, you can sign in to your Creative Cloud desktop app with the same Adobe ID and password.

What happens to my existing files?
You can continue to access your Creative Cloud files on your computer and the Creative Cloud website, subject to a 2GB cloud storage limit. If you’re over the 2GB cloud storage limit when you cancel, you have 30 days to move files out of cloud storage.
