Bug in Adobe Creative Cloud deletes Mac user data

 

We've encountered an issue on the Mac where Adobe Creative Cloud (version 3.5.0.206) appears to be removing the contents of the first hidden folder at the root of the drive, in alphabetic order. By happenstance, the first hidden folder on most Backblaze customer's internal drive is the .bzvol folder. You can learn more about this folder and what it does in this article:

Here are two videos to demonstrate the issue:

Adobe has pulled an update for its Creative Cloud desktop application for Mac computers, which accidentally deleted some users’ important files without any permission

They released an update yesterday. So far I've found no problems with the update.
