How to Find Files Uploaded from a Windows Phone to Acrobat.com
Question details
The user needs to locate files uploaded to Acrobat.com from a Windows Phone, which are currently not visible in the Acrobat Workspaces area.
- Product
- Acrobat.com
- Device & OS
- Windows Phone
- Scenario
- Accessing cloud-uploaded PDF files on the web via a computer or secondary device.
- Observed behavior
- Uploaded files do not appear in Workspaces because it operates as a completely separate service from the main Acrobat file service.
Ensure you have an active internet connection and have the exact Adobe account credentials used on your Windows Phone ready before trying to access your files online.
Log in Directly to the Acrobat File Service
Bypass the Workspaces page and navigate directly to the dedicated Acrobat file service URL to view your uploaded documents.
Workspaces.acrobat.com and files.acrobat.com operate as two separate services. Files uploaded directly from your Windows Phone app are routed specifically to the file service, not Workspaces.
Launch your preferred web browser on your computer or mobile device.
Type https://files.acrobat.com into the address bar and press Enter to load the page.
Enter the Adobe account credentials that correspond to the account used on your Windows Phone app.
If you receive a message that the page or session has expired, refresh your browser page and sign in again to view your uploaded files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my phone uploads not showing in Acrobat Workspaces?
Acrobat Workspaces and the Acrobat file service (files.acrobat.com) are distinct platforms. Mobile uploads are directed to the file service, meaning they won't automatically populate in the Workspaces dashboard.
What should I do if the Acrobat file service page expires?
If your session on files.acrobat.com expires, simply refresh your web browser and re-enter your Adobe account credentials to regain access to your documents.
Can I access Adobe files uploaded from my Windows Phone on a PC?
Yes, you can access them on any device by logging into files.acrobat.com using a standard web browser with the same Adobe ID you used on your Windows Phone.
Are Acrobat Workspaces and the File Service still separate today?
Adobe has transitioned many of its older cloud services into the unified Adobe Document Cloud. If you are using legacy links, they may still point to separate legacy directories, but modern Adobe applications sync centrally via Adobe Document Cloud.
