Types of Adobe Accounts

Which Adobe Account are you actually using?

Why do the buttons say “Trial”?
I just signed in; where did my Creative Cloud Files go?
I'm supposed to have 50 GB of cloud storage, why do I only have 2 GB now?
I did use my yyz212@lehigh.edu email address to sign in!

To begin to answer questions such as these, you need to know what Adobe Account are you actually signed into.

Step-by-step guide

1) Launch your Creative Cloud desktop app.

2) Go to your Adobe Account page.

Click the Account icon in the top right-hand corner of the Creative Cloud desktop app, then click “Adobe Account.” This will open a standard window or tab in your default browser to your Adobe Account’s “Overview” page.

3) Look over this account’s Profile and Plans.
