On the topic of Adobe and things to look out for:

I paid for the full subscription for years as I got a lot of use out of it for many projects.

What made me quit Adobe was their iPad Pro apps.

I found myself using the iPad Pro for visual art projects more often, and I eagerly awaited Adobes eventual iPad Pro offerings.

The only file storage option in the iPad versions of Photoshop and Illustrator is Adobe cloud online with offline cache allowed on a per file basis.

Every project has mandatory upload to Adobe cloud. No way to disable.

I am comfortable having client work stored on iCloud, and sometimes will use Dropbox, both have decent enough reputation for secure storage of IP.

But Adobe? I’m sorry but any company forcing professionals to store client IP on their cloud offering by definition cannot be considered secure, who knows what data mining they do if they are willing to pull stunts like this.

On principle I found alternative apps and ditched Adobe.

Not to mention that they stored and leaked the unhashed passwords of their entire userbase.
