UNSW does not recommend storing sensitive or highly sensitive data within Adobe’s cloud. If you choose to store any data within this cloud storage, please ensure it is backed up and saved within one of our UNSW Supported Storage Platforms. Microsoft OneDrive is our recommended and supported platform for Cloud Storage across the University.

When subscribing to a personal Adobe CC account, please ensure you do not use your UNSW email address when signing up. Using your UNSW email address will prevent you from actively managing your account and result in login complications. To verify your eligibility, you will have to present your UNSW student ID card to Adobe for verification.
