All members of a creative team play an important role, and Adobe Creative Cloud is designed to help everyone -- not just design professionals -- make a valuable contribution. Collaboration can become challenging, frustrating, and time consuming when team members are working with different software versions or can't open certain file types. Creative Cloud helps solve these problems, even for users who are not members.
Using Adobe Creative Cloud to Encourage Collaboration
- Easier file sharing - You can use the cloud storage that comes with your membership to store any type of file. This means that you can keep all project-related files in one central location that every team member can access.
- Version control features - Whenever you save a new version of a file in Creative Cloud, the previous version is archived for ten days. The previous versions do not count against your file storage limit, so you have the freedom to create as many versions as you like without worrying about capacity issues.
- Syncing across multiple devices - Adobe Touch Apps allow team members to create or modify files on touch devices like smart phones and tablets. The files can then be synced with Creative Cloud for access on desktop computers. Now your team can work together any time, no matter where they are in the world.
- Sharing with non-members - If you need to share files with team members or clients who do not have access to Creative Cloud, simply send them a link to view the file in a web browser. You can give them permission to download the file or restrict access to online viewing where they will be able to comment, turn layers on and off, and view the file's metadata. You can also send files via ftp, e-mail, or any other method you would use for any other file type.
Benefits of Creative Cloud for Teams
If you do work with multiple design professionals, Creative Cloud for Teams makes it easier for IT staff to manage software purchases with the following features:
- Single log-in - Because the new Creative Cloud model allows only one license purchase per user ID, purchasing multiple single-user license requires multiple user IDs. Creative Clouds for teams solves this problem with a single user account for multiple seats.
- Streamlined license management - Creative Cloud for Teams allows you to assign and transfer seats from one central location, so you can add and change team members as needed. Coupled with the single log-in feature, this allows you to more easily manage any changes in the team.
- More storage - Creative Cloud for Teams comes with five times more storage than an individual user account.
