Problem Symptom
Hi, I want to move my Adobe programs (Creative Cloud, Lightroom, and Photoshop cc) to run on another drive in my system. Is it possible? When I download it, I can’t choose where to save it. And when I try to cut the program from the C: drive to another drive, it doesn’t move the file because it says the part is currently open
Why do we move Creative Could to another drive?
Adobe Creative Cloud provides support for applications, web services, and more for users’ creative projects (photography, graphic design, video editing, UX design, drawing and painting, social media, and more). Simply put, Adobe Creative Cloud is a collection through which users can manage all Adobe programs.
Due to the large amount of media data stored when creating with Creative Could, this will take up a lot of space on your drive. If Creative Could is installed on the C drive, this will cause the C drive to run out of space. Over time, the computer will run slower and slower or even crash.
Fortunately, this post will show you how to move Adobe to another drive step by step.
