How to Remove Google Drive JPG Images from Adobe Acrobat App
Question details
Users want to stop Google Drive JPG images from appearing in their Adobe Acrobat mobile app file list.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Mobile App
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- When using the Acrobat app, the 'Create PDF' feature pulls in and displays all supported image files from connected cloud accounts.
- Observed behavior
- JPG images stored in Google Drive automatically clutter the recent files or document view within the Adobe Acrobat app.
Ensure you have your Adobe Acrobat mobile app open and are logged into the account currently linked with your Google Drive.
Disconnect Google Drive Integration in Adobe Acrobat
Removing the Google Drive connection will instantly hide all synced JPG images from the Acrobat mobile app interface.
Because the 'Create PDF' feature in Acrobat scans connected cloud storage for supported image formats, your Google Drive photos will appear by default. Disconnecting the drive stops this behavior without deleting any actual files.
Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app and navigate to the 'Files' tab located at the bottom of the screen.
Tap on 'Edit' to manage your connected cloud storage accounts and document sources.
Find your connected Google Drive account in the list and tap 'Remove' next to it to completely disconnect the integration.
Try WPS Office for a Cleaner Mobile PDF Experience
If you want a streamlined PDF reader and editor without unwanted image file clutter, WPS Office offers a lightweight, free alternative to Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Enjoy complete control over your local and cloud files without forced syncing.
- 1. Download the app: Install WPS Office Free from your device's app store or the official website.
- 2. Open your files: Navigate to the PDF tab to manually select and open only the documents you want to read or edit.
- 3. Manage cloud storage: Connect or disconnect cloud drives seamlessly within the app settings to keep your workspace clutter-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my photos appear in the Adobe Acrobat mobile app?
Adobe Acrobat's 'Create PDF' feature supports image conversion, meaning it automatically scans and displays compatible image formats (like JPGs) from any connected cloud storage, including Google Drive.
Can I hide specific image folders instead of disconnecting my entire Google Drive?
Currently, the Acrobat Reader mobile app does not offer a feature to exclude specific folders. You must remove the drive integration entirely to stop the app from displaying those images.
Will disconnecting Google Drive delete my files?
No, disconnecting Google Drive from Adobe Acrobat only removes the app's access to view those files. Your original PDFs and images remain safely stored in your Google Drive account.
