How are you using the two together? It's not likely something we're able to offer support for, but I suspect there may be some other users who have utilized it in the past and may be able to share their expertise or ideas on what's happening.
Adobe Creative Cloud Sync works the same way as Dropbox. You designate a folder on your hard drive as your "cloud" folder. Then, whenever you save something inside that folder, it syncs it to a private server (in the cloud) which then syncs it to other devices you have designated.
I use it 1) as a backup mechanism that still allows me to keep my files on my hard drive and 2) so I can work on the project files on my laptop and desktop. I've saved all kinds of files this way, but I've noticed that Quizmaker files seem to throw it for a loop unlike other file types. When I save, it thinks the file has been saved already or something.
Ah, thanks makes sense in terms of why you're using and how Will. I'll still have to defer to the community for further expertise, but I'm curious if any other cloud back up systems have presented a similar error for you? I know a lot of our team uses Dropbox to share files and I haven't heard of anyone running into it there.
Fortunately I am going to be able to move things out of Adobe CC Sync and over to MS OneDrive. It works much better with Articulate files - in particular it doesn't block Articulate Presenter PPT files from being synced like Adobe does. (Adobe thinks that they contain a virus).

With a recent disaster caused by Adobe Creative Cloud Sync let me just say DO NOT USE IT IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FILES.
Thanks for the update and caution Will - although I'm sad to imagine what happened to your files!

That's one way for them to stop you from using a competitors product... :)
