As my question states, I have over 1 tb of photo in my local storage, but when I import them in to my Lightroom, due to cloud storage limitations, I cannot upload all of them, can I just upload preview of them on the drive?

Lightroom Classic for Mac or Windows uploads only Smart Preview copies, and not original images to Lr Cloud storage.  All other Lightroom apps do upload originals to cloud -- with no option to upload only Smart Previews.
