Hướng dẫn delete default apps by file type

Learn how to save your work as cloud documents and instantly access it wherever you have Illustrator.

Cloud documents are Adobe's cloud-native document file type that can be accessed online or offline directly from within the Illustrator application. You can access Illustrator cloud documents on any device (desktop, web, or iPad) where Illustrator is installed.

Why cloud documents

Hi, I'm Annie! I'm a designer, working on a client project using Illustrator on desktop. I need to travel often for work. I'm looking for an efficient system that can help me continue my creative work on-the-go.

How cloud documents help

Access files on-the-go

Stay creative wherever you go! Save your work as cloud documents and access it from any device where you have Illustrator installed.

Autosave files to cloud

No loss of unsaved work as your updates get autosaved. Saving of cloud documents is faster than your local documents.

Track version history

Easily manage or view cloud document revisions directly from within the app. Autosave keeps past versions readily available!

Create and save Illustrator cloud documents

All the documents that you create and edit using Illustrator on the iPad are automatically saved as cloud documents. Use the Create new option in the app home screen to create a cloud document.

To save a new document as a cloud document in Illustrator on the desktop, choose File \> Save. In the Save to Creative Cloud window, type in a name and select Save.

The cloud documents are saved with .aic extension and display a cloud symbol on the tab name to indicate that you're working on a cloud document.

Autosave Illustrator cloud documents

Your cloud documents will be saved automatically as you work. Autosave keeps the cloud documents up-to-date and you can access them wherever you have Illustrator installed. A version history is also maintained for each save operation that you manually perform. For more details, see .

The default autosave time is 5 minutes. To change the autosave time, go to Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard and select a time in the Automatically Save Cloud Documents Every drop-down list.

Access Illustrator cloud documents

Cloud documents ensure that your work is always updated, across devices with full fidelity.
