Fix Document Cloud Not Working on Tablet but Works on Phone
Question details
The user is unable to open or access Adobe Document Cloud files on their tablet, even though the service functions normally on their cell phones.
- Product
- Adobe Document Cloud
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Trying to view, open, or sync cloud documents on a tablet device.
- Observed behavior
- The Document Cloud app fails to open or sync files on the tablet, despite working perfectly on multiple mobile phones.
Ensure your tablet is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular network, as active cloud synchronization requires a strong internet connection to authenticate and fetch files.
Clear App Cache and Re-authenticate
Corrupted local cache data or an expired session token on your tablet can often prevent cloud services from connecting properly.
Cloud applications store temporary data on your device to speed up loading times. If this data becomes corrupted on your tablet, it can cause the app to crash or fail to sync, even if your account works fine on other devices.
On an Android tablet, go to Settings > Apps > Adobe Acrobat/Document Cloud > Storage, and tap 'Clear Cache'. If you are using an iPad, clearing cache isn't natively supported, so you should restart the device instead.
Open the Document Cloud app on your tablet, tap on your profile icon, and select 'Sign Out'.
Wait a few moments, then sign back in with your credentials to refresh your session token and force the app to reconnect to the cloud servers.
Update or Reinstall the Application
Using an outdated app version can cause compatibility issues specifically on tablet operating systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Document Cloud work on my phone but not my tablet?
This usually happens due to device-specific software glitches, outdated tablet operating systems, or corrupted local app cache that prevents the tablet from communicating with the cloud servers properly.
Will reinstalling the app delete my cloud documents?
No. Reinstalling the app only removes local application data from your tablet. Your documents are securely stored in the cloud and will automatically reappear once you reinstall the app and log back into your account.
How do I force sync my cloud files on a tablet?
Open your document management app on the tablet, navigate to the Cloud or Files section, and swipe down from the top of the screen to manually trigger a refresh and force the files to sync.
