How to Use Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop

Adobe Creative Cloud is a powerful set of applications and services from Adobe Inc. that gives subscribers access to a collection of software used for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, along with a set of mobile applications. Students, staff, and faculty at CSUMB have access to Adobe Creative Cloud.

Staff and faculty computers do not have all the Adobe Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Light Room, etc) installed but can be downloaded by logging into Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop installed on your computer.

To download any of the available Adobe apps:

  1. Locate Creative Cloud on your computer: 
  2. Click sign-in and use your @csumb.edu email address and click Next.
  3. Log in using your CSUMB OtterID and password.
  4. Click All Apps on the left side navigation pane and click Install on the app you wish to download from the list in the center.

You app will then be installed onto your computer.
