Adobe® Drive 2.0 User Guide
Overview
Adobe Drive 2.0 enables you to connect Creative Suite® 4 and Creative Suite 5 applications to Digital Asset
Management (DAM) servers. A connected server appears in your computer as a mounted hard drive or
mapped network drive. Once connected, you can access the server through the platform file browser
(Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder), where you can work with remote managed files as if they were local.
Some applications in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop®, InDesign®, Illustrator®) and Adobe Bridge are
fully integrated with Adobe Drive 2.0. For example, when you use Photoshop CS5 to open and edit a file
stored on a DAM server, the file is checked out automatically when you modify it; when you close the file,
you can choose to check it in or simply save it. You can use Adobe Bridge to access DAM servers and files,
and to view, search for, and compare information about DAM-managed assets.
Compatibility
Adobe Drive 2.0 comes with connectors for particular asset management systems. For example, the Version
Cue® CS4 Connector enables Creative Suite 5 client applications to access to files on a Version Cue CS4
server.
Adobe Drive 2.0 can be used with both Creative Suite 5 and Creative Suite 4; the installation includes a
compatibility library for Creative Suite 4. If you have been using a Creative Suite 4/Version Cue server CS4
workflow, the compatibility library allows you to use Adobe Drive 2.0 features in your existing workflow,
and to migrate from your Version Cue server to other supported DAM servers.
Adobe Drive 2.0 includes a Migration Tool that a server administrator can use to migrate data from a
Version Cue server to another server (including another Version Cue server) or to the local file system. For
information about how to use this tool, see the
Adobe Drive 2.0 Administrator’s Guide .
