Changing Sync Settings Preferences
Photoshop’s Sync Settings preferences (New!) allows you to specify the settings you want to synchronize to an Adobe Creative Cloud account, which you can use on other computers with Photoshop. Creative Cloud is a membership-based cloud solution that allows you to access Adobe software, tools, services, personal files, tutorial videos, and sync program settings online from any computer or device. In order to sync program settings (New!) and access online content on Creative Cloud and Adobe.com, you’ll need to sign in to the service with your Adobe ID. If you’re not signed in when you start Photoshop, you’ll be asked to do so. When you’ve synced settings (New!) on Creative Cloud from another computer and there is a conflict, you’ll be asked if you want to sync settings (keep local or remote) to this computer.
