Can I pause syncing and delete the files from my local drive and still have my files on the cloud?

Question

I have 98GB of Creative Cloud files on my local drive. I can no longer use Photoshop because the local drive is nearly completely full because of Creative Cloud not being an actual useful cloud service. Photoshop pays my bills. Creative Cloud is affecting my life financially if I cannot use the tools I'm paying for. Someone please let me know if I'm able to free up space by pausing syncing and deleting the files off my local drive. I can just manually upload/download files when I need them. Thanks.

Thank you for posting your query here.

Please be informed that the files that are saved in the "Creative Cloud Files" Local folder in your computer are by default Synced with your Cloud storage.

If you do not wish files to sync from your Cloud storage to Local computer please follow the following steps to Turn Off file syncing : Select the gear icon in the upper right, and then select Preferences. In the Files tab, select Sync On/Off.

You may then Sign in to : assets.adobe.com and Sign in with your Adobe ID and Save the files on Cloud folder directly.
