does the actual software reside on my local computer?

Question

I am considering getting a subscription for the CC suite. Can I assume since it is cloud based, hardly anything is physically stored on my computer?? My computer's hard drive almost always has at least 600 gb available. Will all of the CC's programs hog down and slow down my computer?

Thank you.

you couldn't be more incorrect. very few apps are "online only". even cc files won't save hard drive space. cc files are mostly for file sharing, both with yourself on other devices and with others.

it would be unusual to use more than 3 or 4 adobe apps, but if you installed them all they would consume much hard drive space. and running them at the same time would overwhelm most computers

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
