Apps · App updates after a move

Can I move Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop to an external drive?

Short answer: Yes, after confirming an Override. Adobe's updater may reinstall apps to Applications, but Storage Studio detects that and moves the new version back to your fast drive.

You can, with an Override confirmation. Adobe's updater periodically reinstalls Creative Cloud apps into the Applications folder, which would undo the move. Storage Studio detects those reinstalls and moves the new version back to your fast drive, so the space stays reclaimed.

Expect the app to reappear briefly on your built-in drive after an Adobe update until it's been moved again, and keep your drive connected when Creative Cloud updates.
