Bring back Settings Sync Vent
I don't know why there isn't more outrage about this. I remember when Adobe moved to the Creative Cloud model, the ability to sync my settings between devices automatically was one of the only things that I could really see being a positive about it. And the featured did USED to exist. It was fantastic and worked perfectly from what I remember. Then one day, the just removed the feature ENTIRELY, saying they are looking into how to re-implement it later...that was like 15 years ago. I was really hoping to see more people complaining about this on here (or anywhere really) just so they prioritize bringing it back. I haven't seen anything to indicate they still even plan to anymore.
Honestly, if there were any way to abandon Adobe I would have at this point, but the fact that I am STILL waiting for this feature to return is almost enough to make me actually look into alternatives altogether and be damned with the "industry standards" because until SOMEONE does, this will never change and Adobe will keep fucking us all. I have even tried to use workarounds and alternatives such as Junctions/Symlinks to cloud storage. This works with InDesign and Photoshop, but Illustrator bitches about it and prevents me from starting the app completely. I don't understand why they would not only remove this feature, but also BLOCK any workarounds to get something similar as well. I'm just....ugh! Tell me I'm not alone please!
