Are you certain that the latest $9.99 package still includes 20 GB of cloud storage ?.   I was under the impression that this was dropped along with the Behance ProSite when the package became permanent last week.

I've seen a couple of sites that say it was dropped from 20GB to 2GB but I've read Adobe Releases New Creative Cloud Photography Plan for $9.99 Per Month on the Photographers bundle and a change in storage isn't mentioned but then again storage isn't mentioned at all.

I suspect that the Photographers membership still brings with it a full Creative Cloud membership which gives 20GB. Users would not be happy with a paltry 2GB in a paid sub and IMO Adobe would be making a huge mistake if that is the case.

I had been going on the $19.99 CC intro offer, and held out hope until the 18th that they might have offered a rate less than $50.

Decided on the Photography Program and still see the 20 GB storage. There were absolutely no hassles with Customer Service canceling the previous plan. In fact being as it was so close to the last $19.99 payment, they simply refunded it. I was then able to sign up for the Photography Program online without any problems.

I have other cloud storage options, so no big deal.

It would be nice to have TypeKit someday.

Now that the package is permanent (not an offer), will it be available to purchases from third party vendors such as Amazon (like Photoshop CC is) ?.

I assume you meant Photoshop CS6?  Or is Photoshop CC really available from resellers?

I, too, have other cloud storage options. I guess we'll know one day.  BTW, I just got off of a chat with Adobe and was told that the $9.99 bundle still has Behance but the storage is 2GB.  IMO if true that is a mistake on Adobe's part.

The offer is now  permanently fixed at 9.99 monthly. It is no longer a "special offer" subject to increase.

CC and CC 2014 are still not permanent licenses.

File Storage is 20 GB on the Photography Program. That is separate from Behance.  I haven't activated Behance so I don't know about their storage quotas and pricing plans.

The discussion point is that several web sites have stated the permanent version has dropped the storage from 20GB to 2GB for the Photographers bundle.  Adobe chat just said the same thing to me...of course, they are not always correct.

That FAQ is nearly two years old. No mention even of the Photographers bundle.

Call the above number if you still not sure. I have 20 GB for sure.

I have the 20GB, too.  The question is whether or not those with a totally new, i.e. not grandfathered in in any way, Photographers subscription still get 20GB or is it now 2GB (several web sites state it is now 2GB and my chat with Adobe confirmed 2GB).  I haven't seen anything on Adobe's web site that doesn't predate the June 18th announcement that answers the question one way or another.  All I'm saying is that until someone from Adobe (other than a Chat representative) officially answers the question we won't really know.  For me, 20GB is OK, 2GB is not all that useful.

Well, it is 2GB for the subscribers. Funny how Adobe does not say up front.

Lightroom for the iPhone! Adobe updates CC, locks in photographer pricing, launches new mobile apps

Previously, you received 20GB of cloud storage along with the photo-centric apps for your $10 monthly bill, but that has been slashed to just two gigabytes in the new Creative Cloud Photography Plan. In other respects, though, the offering looks similar -- and realistically, the cloud storage was never very generous in the first place, so it's no huge loss. You could easily fill your entire allotment multiple times over from a single flash card, after all, and third-parties like Google Drive already offer as much as 100GB of storage for just $2/month, or 15GB completely free of charge.

Megaupload.com offers 50 GB free to members.

That is extremely similar to other blurbs I've read.  The thing is I have been unable to find anything published by Adobe that specifies the storage amount for the new sub though it is suspicious that on the plan web page Photographer bundle is the only one wherein storage isn't mentioned at all.

Weird, but not a deal breaker. Kind of nice to know the price is locked in. Maybe that was something to be given up for that and I'm ok with it.

Anyway, I prefer to keep things locally stored unless I plan a share or collaboration.

Kind of nice to know the price is locked in

The price is still only locked in for 12 months, it's the PS/LR package that is now permanent.

So it's in how you read it. The Photography Program is here to stay, but after the 12 months, the price can go up or (rarely) down, until Adobe says otherwise.

OK...got it.

Yes, that Creative Cloud FAQ predated the PS+LR program, and we are in the process of updating it anew for CC 2014...

However in the meantime, this new Guide to the CC Photography Plan should hopefully answer all your questions here.

Thanks for clarity on the subject.

One question: I downgraded from the introductory discounted Full CC subscription to the Photographt Program. I do not see Typekit in the FAQ. Do I keep that or is that discontinued for me?

Good to know, and thanks for the link.  I do have one question, though.  Your guide says:

(however, subscribers of the previous promotional program are grandfathered in on both the ProSite and the 20 GB cloud)

Does that mean in perpetuity or do those of us on the promotional program automatically go to 2GB and lose the ProSite when it comes time to renew our subscription?

Hey guys, those are good questions – here are some answers:

For Typekit, all Creative Cloud plans (even free-level members) have the ability to sync fonts to your desktop, as well as use up to 2 Typekit fonts on one website...

But the Photography plans – neither the old one nor the new one – don't receive the Typekit Portfolio Plan included, as all other paid Creative Cloud memberships do.

As to the grandfathering, from what we understand it is in perpetuity – i.e., the previous offering that you agreed to will continue so long as your maintain your same original (PS Photography Program) subscription.  It could be considered a benefit of being an early adopter of the promotion at the time, although the slightly-revised plan still looks a pretty good deal.

Talking about payment options, we mentioned in the guide that Adobe is now offering a new option for the CC Photography Plan in the form of a one-year prepaid subscription...

So if you are concerned about your credit card details, presumably you could purchase 12 months at a time but ask that your card details not be retained over the year.

There are other alternatives you could use, such as virtual, temporary, or disposable credit card numbers, that are covered in this post and its comments.

Finally, Adobe does offer PayPal payment in their store, but not for subscriptions:
