How to stop file syncing to cloud? - Important!

Hi Team - We are trying to stop the process of syncing the files from local machine to cloud.

 

We found the below option to do it in Creative Cloud

  1. Login to Creative cloud
  2. Preference -> Syncing -> Pause Syncing

 

Is there any other option to do the same?

FYI: We have seen an article (Link) explains coresync.exe, which is taking care of file syncing.  Does killing the coresync.exe will stop the process of syncing?

Killing coresync.exe might have deleterious consequences. 

Pausing sync or disconnecting your device from the Internet would be a safer.

Hi Team - We can't disconnet the internet because of the following reason

  • We are in a school setup and candidates are taking Adobe Exams and with new Cloud Sync feature we find it easy for cheating – is there a way we can disable Cloud Synching or Collaborative features so that students can’t share things and also there’s no way for them to enable it?

And we are not sure about the student machine setup to pause the sync. So we want your thoughts to stop syncing inside the exam setup.

what's wrong with pref>sync>pause?  that setting remains until it's unpaused.

 

if there is something unsatisfactory about that, do you have a team/enterprise account?
