Creative Cloud Myths Debunked Below are a few of the most common misperceptions that we hear about Adobe Creative Cloud as well as the truths Myth #1: Desktop apps run in the cloud in my browser—not on my desktop False. Your creative desktop apps like Photoshop, InDesign are installed and run directly on your computer Myth #2: I have to be constantly connected to use my apps False. Your creative desktop apps are installed and run directly on your computer. You only need to be online to install your software Myth #3: I’ll lose all my files if I leave Creative Cloud False. You will continue to have access to the files that you save on your computer Myth #4: Creative Cloud means that files need to be hosted versus stored locally False. Your creative files stay on your computer unless you choose to sync them to the Creative Cloud
