Use Adobe Experience Manager desktop app by Adobe

Abstract

Use the Adobe Experience Manager desktop app, to easily access the digital assets stored in Adobe Experience Manager DAM repository on your local desktop and use these assets in any desktop applications. You can open the assets in desktop applications and edit the assets locally – upload the changes back to Experience Manager with version control, to share the updates with other users. You can also upload new files and folder hierarchies to Experience Manager, create folders, and delete assets or folders from Experience Manager DAM.

The integration allows various roles in the organization to manage the assets centrally in Experience Manager Assets and to access the assets on local desktop in the native applications on Windows or Mac OS.

When you open the application after logging out or for the first time, provide the URL of your Experience Manager server in the format https://[aem-server-url]:[port]/. Then select the Connect option. Provide credentials to connect the app with the server.
