Creative Files using my computer storage

Creative cloud space is either always synced or never synced. Files that Adobe programs need to work with tend to be huge, and it would not work out otherwise. The problem is with laptops and minimalistic harddisk space. It won't work well, without additional space.

Hi There,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry for your difficulties. You could change the sync option and also delete the Creative Cloud folder in the navigation. Creative Cloud storage is not a replacement for hard drive space. It's for sharing files with other devices or colleagues.   If you're short on HD space, consider getting an external drive and a dedicated backup recovery service.  You can never have too many reliable backups. 

When File Syncing is enabled in CC Desktop App, everything saved in your local Creative Cloud Files folder is automatically backed-up on CC storage for access by other devices -- unless you go offline or your cloud storage space is full.
