Your local changes are synced back up to the cloud. When you open a project or file, it’s downloaded to that app’s dedicated area on your computer. Microsoft has been migrating its Office apps in the same direction.Īs with mobile apps, in newer Adobe desktop apps all of the work you’re storing is on the cloud server (the primary storage). You can also use a tablet or smartphone to edit projects started on the desktop. When you get home, you can continue working on it using a more powerful device with a bigger screen, such as a desktop computer. For example, you can take photos and video on your phone and start a project as soon as you have an idea. You don’t have to think about importing, exporting, or manually syncing. Using cloud storage as primary makes it possible for you to create and edit your work on any device you have with you. Recently introduced desktop applications such as Lightroom CC (photo editing) and Premiere Rush CC (video editing) use their own dedicated areas on Creative Cloud online storage. On the desktop, Adobe is developing a new generation of applications that use storage more like mobile apps. Cloud Storage is Primary in New Desktop Apps Too

If you want a non-Adobe app to use an image edited using the Lightroom CC mobile app, you share (export) a copy that contains the edits.
