Adobe Creative Cloud File Storage

Students, faculty, and staff at Illinois State University are allotted 200 GB of file storage in the Adobe Creative Cloud.

What Can I Store in Creative Cloud?

You can store, share, and collaborate on with cloud documents in the following Creative Cloud apps:

  • Adobe XD

If you are working with other types of files, you will need to store those documents elsewhere, such as on your local computer drive, or Microsoft OneDrive.
