Creative Cloud Discontinuing Synced Files

Question

Hello!

New to posting on this community. I am just a bit confused about the change coming in February concerning Creative Cloud storage.

Will we lose the 100 GB of storage for our files that we have with Creative Cloud?

If I want to upload final versions of Illustrator files to Creative Cloud just to store them will I still be able to do that?

If we are losing this storage, why would Adobe not lower their prices?

I have read the article that Adobe sent out concerning this change but I did not quite understand it, so if anyone is kind enough to elaborate on it I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

Creative Cloud still will use cloud space to store your libraries and cloud documents (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/cloud-documents.html). The Synced files are the part of the cloud, where you upload any data, and it gets synced to all your computers (like Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, pCloud). It never did work very efficiently and was lacking features that are nice to have, like the offloading of data with OneDrive, where the data gets downloaded when accessed. I've switched everything from Creative Cloud to OneDrive, for all my living documents.

BTW: only syncing to the cloud does cease working, the documents will still be locally available, but won't be copied anymore to the cloud. So for me that means that my second workstation won't get the changes (that's the reason, why I switched to OneDrive for that).
