Are Adobe applications compatible with Dropbox?

There shouldn't be any specific issues with Adobe files, provided that they are physically located in the Dropbox folder like any other file, and not just shortcuts or symlinks from another folder on your machine.
If there is any additional syncing method provided by Adobe (which as you say is being deprecated), then it could cause some potential issues with files.
Hi Hannah, sure thing.
So I'm looking for a replacement for the Adobe CC file syncing feature which is going to be switched off in February 2024.
My typical workflow involves Macs and PCs and I like to keep local copies of files I'm working on, then sync those files between machines, and to the cloud for archive. I could be working on an Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator document on a Mac, then PC during the same day due to the need to integrate with other software that's specific to one or the other platform. I need to be able to do this with as close to zero risk of file corruption as possible.
Cheers...

Dropbox StaffHi Captain Chaos, you could have your files located in the Dropbox folder, and they should sync to other devices where the Dropbox app is installed, like with any normal files.

- Thanks Jay. Dropbox seems to be a pretty solid solution for my needs. I’ve read Hannah’s linked Adobe integrations article too, which points in the same direction.
Thanks for your help guys. I think I have my answer 🙂
