Cloud storage synch

Hi all, 

I was using Lightroom on a noteboook that belonged to my employer, and under the assumption that the synch with the cloud was authomatic (?) , I returned the notebook; but once I installed the app on my desktop, I could ony see some part of the photos.

What puzzled me and made me think the photos are somewhere there, in teh cloud, is that it was still showing me the warning that I had reached the maximum capacity for the storage included in my plan.

I tried accessing my cloud, but it shows as nothing there, could there be a way to recover these photos?

Thanks so much
