Core Sync is Adobe's background synchronization service that keeps your Creative Cloud files, settings, and data in sync across your Mac and Adobe's cloud services. It runs as a Finder Sync extension and handles real-time file synchronization for Adobe Creative Cloud applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom. Most users won't interact with it directly—it works silently in the background—but it's essential for seamless Creative Cloud workflows. Core Sync is typically installed automatically as part of Adobe Creative Cloud, and many users manage it through System Preferences extensions.

1 suggestionGood news: Core Sync v7.8.10.1 now runs natively as a Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs. A native version of this same app has been confirmed running on over 100 real Mac devices in our community since April 2026. You should update Adobe Creative Cloud to the latest version available on your Mac—the newer versions include the native Universal Binary build of Core Sync that no longer requires Rosetta 2. Visit Adobe's official Creative Cloud download page or use the built-in updater in Adobe Creative Cloud to fetch the latest version. No alternative app is needed; simply updating ensures you get native Apple Silicon support automatically.
