Verify Account Credentials and Cloud Sync Status
Check if both devices use the same account and ensure the upload was successful on the web.
The most common reason for missing cloud documents is mismatched account logins across devices or an interrupted upload process on the source device.
Open the account settings on both your computer and mobile app to ensure they are signed in using the exact same ID.
Visit the recent files page of your cloud service in a web browser (e.g., https://cloud.acrobat.com/recent) to confirm that the files have successfully finished uploading from your computer.
Open the mobile app, navigate to the Document Cloud tab, and swipe down on the screen to refresh the file list.
If the files still do not appear, sign out of the mobile app via the settings menu and sign back in to force a fresh data sync.
