Manage and work with your files stored in Adobe Document Cloud

You can use Adobe Document Cloud to store and share large files online. You can easily upload files in Document Cloud and manage them from your computer or mobile device. You can also view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly in the browser.

Sign in to Acrobat online (Document Cloud Home) with your Adobe ID and password, or with your social (Facebook or Google) account. The home page provides an onboarding tour, easy navigation, a single location for all your documents and agreements, and tools grouped by similar and related workflows.

View files

On the home page, you can view your recent, starred, or shared files. By default, the Recents tab is selected. Click the respective tab to view your recent, starred, or shared files.

View all your files and folders

To view all your files and folders, go to Documents > Your Documents. You can filter your documents by Starred files, files Shared by you, or files Shared by others.

When you select a file, you see the available commands for the file based on its type. For example, when you select a PDF file, you see all commands except Create PDF. Similarly, when you select a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, you see the Edit command that lets you edit the file directly in the browser.
