I have some serious doubts about the usefulness of this -- considering how long it will take to "open" a large PSD file.

There's also the issue of sensitive/confidential content -- Adobe is putting a very large bulls-eye on themselves. Since your PSD/etc files are being uploaded to Adobe to "open" Photoshop, they'll have to be stored there, and that is very attractive to nefarious individuals.

I understand that in actuality the files are stored on Google Drive, but the data itself eventually exits Google's network to enter Adobe's. I wouldn't be surprised if Adobe keeps copies around for their own convenience, eg: caching or historical metrics.



How is that any different from trusting Google Drive with your data? Or Dropbox? Or any other cloud backup services?

I'm not saying that it's not a problem, because it clearly is, but it sounds like it's a bit too late to be this worried about our business-related files stored on remote servers/services.
