Download Download Creative Cloud Desktop 5.7.0.1307 Free

There was a time when Adobe offered software suites and individual products with perpetual licenses.But those days are long gone, and since 2013, all of Adobe’s apps are only available via Creative Cloud Desktop.

Can’t say that this approach is easier for the end user. It’s very convenient to manage all your apps and subscriptions from a single interface, especially since Creative Cloud also displays notifications about available updates and provides one-click access to other resources such as Adobe Stock, fonts, tutorials, portfolios, and more.

Explore the Adobe world in a user-friendly GUI

The Creative Cloud desktop app requires you to log in with your active Adobe account before accessing its main window. You can use it to manage all of your Adobe CC subscriptions, whether for desktop, mobile or web usage.

Navigating through the list of applications is very easy. Creative Cloud Desktop displays them by popularity, but you can also navigate to specific categories to quickly find the app you’re looking for. Paid and trial licenses are available for each Adobe product in your plan.

Get information and additional resources for any Adobe CC app

By clicking on any application, you can view the current version and read more about the application and its main features. Additionally, Creative Cloud Desktop checks your PC for compatibility issues and lets you know if the application is running on your local computer.

Each application’s product sheet also provides one-click access to troubleshooting and support, tutorials, forums and communities, additional courses, and sample projects. In other words, Adobe wants you to get all the details you need in Creative Cloud Desktop without having to manually search the web for answers.

It’s also worth mentioning that Creative Cloud Desktop also allows you to manage your Adobe files in Creative Cloud Libraries. All your work is saved in the cloud, and your most used colors, graphics, and more are stored in your personal library. Additionally, you can share documents and collaborate with others.

Get inspired and easily access resources

An interesting feature of Creative Cloud Desktop is that it provides access to Adobe-related news and featured articles based on your interests. In other words, you can discover interesting live streams, articles, new artists, tutorials, and other free online resources in the main window of Creative Cloud Desktop.

Unfortunately, the app doesn’t have an integrated browser, so all links open automatically using your default web browser on Windows. Even so, it’s very convenient to have all these resources in one place.

Available Updates and Beta Programs

As mentioned earlier, Creative Cloud Desktop also displays notifications about newly available versions of all Adobe applications so you can enjoy new features and bug fixes as soon as they are released. However, you are the one who decides whether to deploy the update or not, depending on the changelog.

More adventurous users can participate in the beta testing program, which includes new features for upcoming releases, and can also be deployed via Creative Cloud Desktop. Note that beta apps collect usage data for obvious purposes.

Centralized dashboard for all Adobe applications

With Creative Cloud Desktop, you can manage your Adobe subscriptions and have instant access to valuable resources. You can launch and update your favorite CC applications, manage your files and get inspired by Adobe Stock or sample projects. What’s more, the app runs quietly in the system tray, doesn’t interfere with your work and silently waits for your input.
