I am having such an issue finding an answer to this problem which is so weird! 

I have a Macboon and a PC and want to stop the storage of my creative cloud files on my macbook as I just dont have the space! Everywhere I look people have these instructions, but none of them pertain to my version of the creative cloud app, So I do not know how to turn off the syncing, can someone please help me with this? I am so tired of having issues with space on my macbook

Hi

You can't turn off syncing but you can pause it from the Creative Cloud app

What happens if I then delete the files that are locally stored and filling up my hard drive space? There are GB of stuff stored in here, and I need them for my desktop at work, but I don't need them on my laptop.

 

If I delete them, and accidentally click "resume syncing" will that delete them for the rest of my coworkers? That's a sure way to get myself fired.

Get an external hard drive (approx USD $50 for 1TB storage).

Remove non-essential software from your primary HD.  Move data & work files to externals.
