ON/OFF Background Activity Feature

Creative Cloud runs in the background and consumes internet usage which effects my overall use of applications which also require internet. Unfortunately I do not have the option to upgrade my internet as I am in a remote location. I have been advised that I need to manually close the application in the background after every use OR uninstall CC, and reinstall in when I need to update my apps like Photoshop. This is a huge disadvantage and discourages me from continuing with these products. There are other products that don't require a subscription that I will be looking into, unless Adobe makes a change with their product. I recommend adding a feature within CC to allow the user to close background syncing, and turn back on when the user wants to utilize the sync feature. I believe without this feature, you are eliminating a percentage of potential clients.
