Preferences window holds configuration areas for user account management, app launching, notifications, as well as a wide range of settings for Apps, local file management, download management, fonts, and more. This listing can be filtered depending on the type of app (All, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, Video, Mobile, and Web design), as well as app versions. On the top, you have access to the settings dropdown menu, a tabbed area with the listing of your currently active apps, available assets, a community portal, and on the bottom, the listing of all available Adobe CC applications that you have not yet gained access to. Once up and running, the cloud application will load its single window that is separated into several key areas. If you don’t have a profile, you can create one immediately here. To install it all you need to do is to follow on-screen instructions and input your Adobe profile login credentials to which your purchased apps and subscriptions will be tied to.

Because of that, it comes in a sub-Megabyte installation that will be set up on your Mac in mere seconds. Adobe Creative Cloud is an incredibly lightweight application that was built from the ground up to only serve as the launcher for other Adobe CC applications.
