File handling of Android App

When I am on vacation, I am using Lightroom for Android to edit my best shots before I will edit all of them back home.

As soon as I edit a raw file, Lightroom will create a copy of that original file such that I will have that file twice on my smartphone. One time on the original file path and one time on the Android App path. Additionally to that, Lightroom will upload the raw file to the cloud. That behavior causes the smartphone storage as well as the cloud storage to fill quickly.

I would much prefer if I could choose to just import a smart preview / proxy to the Android path as well as the cloud. This matches the behavior of synchronizing a collection in Lightroom CC and will save on smartphone and cloud storage.
