I use Lightroom Classic and have no interest in Lightroom or Behance.
Can Portfolio be used with Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud only?

    Yes, because you can upload photos manually if you want. You don't need Cloudy Lightroom or Behance.

    The easiest and best way to use Portfolio from Classic Lightroom is by "syncing" collections of photos to Adobe's server. In Portfolio, you can then set up "integrations" with these collections, ie pointing Portfolio pages to the collections on Adobe's server. If you then change photos in Classic, you can refresh those integrations (Adobe use "reset" to mean refresh).

    John, in relation to "Yes, because you can upload photos manually if you want.".  I have yet to figure out how to use just LrC with Portfolio. The Integrations listed are Behance, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Stock. When I looked up Portfolio Integrations, there does seem to be any link to LrC. In relation to the OP's question of "Can Portfolio be used with Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud only". Can you elaborate on how to move photos to/from LrC and Portfolio? Thanks.

    There's a great danger of making this seem harder than it is. As I wrote before, in Classic Lightroom you should sync some Collections. These are then shown in Portfolio when you go into Integrations. 

     

    So in Classic Lightroom, create a new Collection of photos and set it to sync. Wait for sync to complete, then go to your Portfolio site and click Integrations. Add Album lists all your synced Collections. You just select one or more, click Import Selected, and they become pages in your site. 

     

    If you change photos in the collection, you need to go into Portfolio, go to the page and look for "reset from Lightroom".

     

    Just try it - it's pretty easy if you follow these steps.
