Creative cloud force downloading my files to my pc

I've literally been trying to figure this out for weeks.  If you go in and change it, it comes up with an error.  I don't want it on my hard drive either, it's enormous!  So don't bother trying to change the sync folder location unless you want to be like me because i literally am losing my mind!  I have changed the folder to every possible scenario externally, deleted the folders, SSD, HDD, Flash, and ... it always defaults back to the hard drive unless you jsut want the error to stay forever and nothing syncs anyway.  Mine is now permanently on pause... which is an awesome use of the extra space I got in my cloud where i thougth i'd actually store the info.  I don't want a back up on my hard drive.  I cant' find the answer anywhere so i hope someone is lisetning jorge, because i feel your pain. so frustrating!
