Question

Local CC Library files taking up too much space on Mac

I am having space and performance issues on my MacBook Pro. We use CC Library a lot in our collaborative work and the folder located under Creative Cloud Libraries>LIBS>xxxxxx_AdobeId>collaborated>dcx is hogging 46GB of much-needed space on my hard drive. Is there anything I can do about this? I can't delete files from the libraries themselves because we need them, but can I not have them locally on my device?

    if you don't want to store them locally, you should use a different (from adobe) cloud service.

    Our main files are in Dropbox, but we regularly pass assets through CC Library. It's not ideal, but it's what I'm dealing with at the moment. I just want to be able to free up disk space.

    if you use adobe's cloud storage you'll be unable to control local storage.
