For those with personal accounts (this includes students that might already have a subscription), the UofL Adobe account is a company/school account and will be different/separate from your individual subscription account.
It is highly recommended that anyone with a personal account and with files stored on the Adobe cloud back-up their files on a local drive (or another cloud location like CardBox or OneDrive) before switching their accounts. When you stop paying on your personal subscription, those files will not be accessible.
