View and Manage Sent Files in Document Cloud
Access your Adobe Document Cloud account to manually view, manage, or delete files sent through Adobe Send and Track.
Files sent via Adobe Send and Track are stored in your Adobe Document Cloud. Because retention policies and storage limits can vary depending on your specific subscription plan, files are not necessarily removed automatically. It is a best practice to manually delete files you no longer need.
Launch Adobe Acrobat on your desktop, or log in to the Adobe Document Cloud web portal using your browser.
Navigate to the 'Home' tab and click on the 'Recent' or 'Shared' area to view the list of files you have sent using Send and Track.
Select the specific files you no longer need, click the options menu (often represented by three dots), and choose 'Delete' to remove them from your cloud storage.
Check your specific Adobe account settings and plan details to understand the exact storage limits and auto-deletion timelines applicable to your tier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do files sent via Adobe Send and Track expire automatically?
It depends on your specific Adobe account type. While some links and files may have auto-expiration limits based on your plan, it is highly recommended to manually delete sensitive files when they are no longer needed.
Can I retrieve a file after deleting it from Adobe Document Cloud?
Once a file is permanently deleted from your Document Cloud storage, the shared link will break and the file cannot be retrieved from the cloud. Always ensure you have a local backup before deleting.
How do I check my remaining Adobe Document Cloud storage?
You can view your storage usage by logging into your Adobe Document Cloud account on the web and checking the storage indicator, which is usually located in the account settings or the bottom-left corner of the dashboard.
