- Observed behavior
- Adobe Document Cloud does not natively provide a feature to generate an RSS feed for file uploads.
Please note that Adobe Document Cloud does not have a built-in RSS feed feature at this time. Tracking updates requires manual workarounds or submitting official feature requests.
Submit an Official Feature Request
Since there is no built-in RSS feature, submitting a feature request directly to Adobe is the recommended official channel to express your need for this functionality.

Select Adobe Document Cloud or Acrobat from the product dropdown menu.
Provide a detailed explanation of your workflow and why an automatically updating RSS feed for new file uploads would be beneficial, then submit the form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Adobe Document Cloud have an API to build a custom RSS feed?
Adobe provides the Acrobat Services API, which allows developers to manipulate documents. However, to track new uploads, you would need to set up a custom polling script to check for folder changes and generate an RSS XML file manually, as there is no direct 'RSS export' API endpoint.
Can I get email notifications for Document Cloud uploads instead of an RSS feed?
Yes. If you share a document or folder for review, Adobe Document Cloud can send email notifications to collaborators whenever changes, new uploads, or comments are made. This often serves as a practical alternative to RSS.
Are there third-party tools that can bridge Document Cloud to an RSS feed?
Automation platforms like Zapier or Make currently offer limited triggers for Adobe applications. You can periodically check their integrations to see if a 'New File in Document Cloud' trigger becomes available, which could then be routed to an RSS generator app.
