Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find a file I sent three months ago in my Adobe account?

If a file sent within the last six months is missing, it may have been manually deleted from your cloud storage or the sharing link might have expired. Check your deleted files folder or your document sharing settings.

Can I view who has opened the files I sent?

Yes, if you utilized Adobe Acrobat's 'Track' feature when sending the document, you can view the associated details, including whether the recipient has opened, viewed, or downloaded the file.

Do sent files take up my Adobe Cloud storage space?

Yes, documents uploaded and sent via Adobe Document Cloud count against your total cloud storage quota unless they are sent strictly as external attachments without cloud hosting.

Can I recover sent files if I accidentally delete them from the Files tab?

Files deleted from the Adobe Cloud Files tab are typically moved to a 'Deleted' or 'Trash' folder, where they can be restored within a specific timeframe (usually 30 days) before being permanently erased.
