How much storage space does the cloud take up?

I would like to buy the creative cloud, but I'm not sure if my mac has enough storage space to download it. I'm guessing it doesn't, I only have around 30 GB of space left. How much room would i need to buy the cloud and only download Premier for now? This is the application I need the most at the moment. If I can download and install Premier now and worry about the rest later then that would be fine.

After doing a quick addition estimate of all CC programs, it would take at least 300 G of disk space to store them, which can be on an external drive or internal as you wish.

If you're so short of storage space, check that the rest of your system meet the System Requirements.

Most modern computers have 100s of GBs or even TBs of space. Is your entire system borderline for running such a demanding app as Premiere Pro?

Maybe the OP doesn't have the same issue as me. If he did, these were very unhelpful replies. I didn't want to start a new thread so I searched and these replies were not helpful at all.

For me, it's not a problem of having enough space to install the software. I have 250GB (shame on me for not having TBs of space) and my windows 10 takes up a lot of it. I can easily install photoshop but if I keep many copies of a project, I run out of space like crazy and I was hoping the Cc option allows me to work on the project while the file remains in the cloud.

It took me a few minutes and detailed explanations about my question to get the answer from the support team, but they say that if I want to work on a file it will be downloaded in a temp folder on my computer.

I'm not clear on what question you are asking.

You seem to think the prior replies in this thread are unhelpful but I'm not clear why.
