Unfortunately, in Adobe world, "cloud" only means file sharing, not longterm file storage. I still use Dropbox when I need cloud-only file storage. I'm a production manager for a newspaper. All employees use a desktop computer (in the office) where there is plenty of file space and a laptop (to work remotely which is very common these days)—our laptops do not have a lot of space for local files. In order to make sure everyone's laptops will not fill up and stop functioning, I have to archive all our files monthly onto Dropbox. Thankfully, Dropbox has Smart Sync which allows me to designate files from past issues to become cloud-stored only until someone needs an old file again. Once I copy past newspaper issues into Dropbox, I can delete them from Creative Cloud. Dropbox works great for archiving, and retaining space on everybody's laptops. I wish Adobe would have thought of a cloud storage/archive solution, and maybe called their app something less confusing like Creative Share.

I do not use cloud storage for anything

I use a Sata docking station and several 'bare' drives for backup

Buy 2 docks and carry drives back and forth

cc storage is not intended for file storage and when you try it use as file storage/backup, you're going to have problems/disappointments sooner or later.  cc storage is for file sharing, and yes, it is confusing.
