Online Photo Storage for Access on Multiple Devices

Question

I utilize a macbook laptop and a windows desktop for both photoshop and sometimes lightroom when I have larger batches of photos. My goal is to utilize Creative Clouds Storage for my photos so I can freely work on files on either device. I am a bit confused on how creative cloud works between all of the products and I am trying to understand the best method to organize my cloud photo storage and the terminology. Does Creative Cloud work similarly to, for example, OneDrive in which it has a file organization system and you can open/edit files on any device while the document is saved to the cloud?

As an example, say I have 100 photos on a camera I would like to upload to creative cloud that I can then access on either my laptop or desktop, what is the best method to accomplish this? Would you recommend opening Bridge and creating a new Cloud Library for the files or would you recommend using Lightroom and exporting to Creative Cloud? Do I need to convert files to .TIF or .PSD prior to uploading online?

Any advice or experience you have is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For file backup and recovery service, I highly recommend Backblaze. My files are backed up to the cloud nightly for $7/mo, unlimited data. It has saved me from catastrophe on more than one occasion. A++.
