Creative Cloud

Archive Creative Cloud files on this machine before you change the install.

What Creative Cloud is

This repository is Creative Cloud, a desktop utility. Archive Creative Cloud files on this machine before you change the install.

Creative Cloud drops data files next to launcher caches.

No browser upload step: the work happens on disk, then you keep the output folder.

How to get it

Use the command-line copy in this repository if you already have Python.

If you want a normal installer for Windows or macOS, open the setup page and follow the steps there.

What it does

• Finds the Creative Cloud data directory.
• Copies config and export files to a dated archive.
• Lists photo and export folders.
• Writes a short report of what was kept.

The problem

People search Creative Cloud desktop and PC when they want the folder on disk.

A named helper is easier to find than a generic zip.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
• Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
• Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI

Run locally

Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help

--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.
