Adobe Stock provides access to royalty-free stock images, photos, graphics, vectors, video footage, illustrations, templates, and 3d assets. The Adobe Stock integration automatically uploads licensed assets from your Adobe Stock account (or multiple accounts) to your Bynder DAM for a centralized asset management experience.
Contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more about enabling the Adobe Stock integration.
Adobe Stock for Enterprise is required for this connection. Only an enterprise account can add the server-to-server authentication required to sync assets.
Before configuring the integration in Bynder, you will need to create an app in the Adobe Developer console and add the server-to-server authentication and Adobe Stock API to it. Once created, copy the client ID and client secret, which will be needed while creating the integration in Bynder. More information may be found here.

Navigate to Adobe's Developer Console, then click Create a new project.

-
Select Adobe Stock and click Next.
-
Select Oauth Server-to-Server.
-
Do not select Oauth or Service Account (JWT).

Note
If you have multiple Adobe Stock users and want to synchronize assets by those individual users (but not the entire organization), you will need to set up additional connections for each of them. This will also require each of those users to have their own key pair and credentials generated in the Adobe Developer Console.
After configuration, all licensed images (and videos and vectors, if enabled) for the connected Adobe Stock account(s) will be uploaded to your Bynder DAM or waiting room, depending on your configuration. Moving forward, any licensed asset will automatically be uploaded to Bynder roughly 2 hours after you license it.
If you delete an Adobe Stock asset from the Bynder DAM, it will not automatically be reuploaded to your Bynder DAM or Waiting Room. If you delete a Adobe Stock asset from your Adobe Stock account or if your license expires, it will not automatically be deleted from Bynder.
- Navigate to Settings > Advanced settings > Portal settings.
- Click Active Integrations in the left sidebar, then Edit in the section of the connection that you would like to update.
- Make your changes, then click Save.

What happens to the asset if I delete it from my Bynder portal (or visa versa)

Is a specific Adobe Stock account type required for the integration?
-
Yes, this integration requires an Adobe for Enterprise plan type.
What if we have multiple Adobe Stock accounts?

If you would like to synchronize assets by all Adobe Stock users, make sure the Sync Organization assets section is set to True.
Are Adobe Stock assets uploaded directly to my DAM or the waiting room?
