Asset Security

Astute Manager Pro prioritizes asset security by syncing Illustrator assets between local and cloud storage, ensuring uninterrupted access of installed asset packs, even when disconnected from the internet or after subscription changes. Astute Graphics makes no claim over the ownership or rights to the assets, and they are never used for AI model training. These critical points are in contrast to Creative Cloud Libraries, which rely solely on Adobe-based cloud storage and full online service access. Enterprise-level users can also choose to store assets with the Astute Manager cloud or using their existing cloud storage services like Dropbox, minimizing third-party exposure and reinforcing data ownership and security.*

Security by design

Astute Manager Pro is designed with asset security as a foundational principle, ensuring Illustrator assets are reliably accessible and protected at every stage. Unlike Adobe’s Creative Cloud Libraries, which store assets exclusively in Adobe’s cloud and require continuous online access, Astute Manager Pro syncs asset packs between local and cloud storage. This means users can continue working with their installed assets even when offline or if their subscription status changes, maintaining creative continuity without disruption. Local copies are always present and user-accessible, offering a significant safeguard against downtime, service interruptions, or vendor lockout.

Customizable storage options

A critical distinction of Astute Manager Pro is its clear stance on asset ownership and usage. Astute Graphics makes no claim over the rights or ownership of any stored assets, and guarantees that user assets are never used for AI model training or any form of data mining. This ensures peace of mind for professional and enterprise users who manage sensitive, proprietary, or client-protected content.

For Enterprise-level users, the Astute Manager Pro service offers enhanced flexibility through customizable storage options. In addition to secure Astute Graphics-managed cloud storage, users can choose to connect their existing enterprise cloud solutions such as Dropbox*. This ensures full alignment with internal IT policies, data governance requirements, and security standards. By decoupling asset access from dependency on a proprietary cloud platform and emphasizing ethical data handling, Astute Manager Pro provides a trust-based foundation for creative teams.
