Where is my Creative Cloud folder

I have place all of my working files in my Creative Cloud folder and it is syncing fine giving me access on my Macbooks, iPhone, and iPad. I am also sharing folders, etc. with clients so that's good... but where are the files stored on my Macbook is the question I have.

However, on my Macbook, if I don't have the Creative Cloud app running the Creative Cloud folder is no longer visible. I have no clue where it goes... now I'm wondering should I no longer use Creative Cloud for any reason - where are my folders/files? I back up to an external drive every day so the folders are on the external - but where are they on the Macbook??
