Switch from LR to LRC

Hello, I currently subscribe to Lightroom 1TB and in the process of swtiching over to Lighroom Classic 20GB.  However, I have about 40GB data files in the Lightroom cloud, so can some please guide me as to whether I will have access to the entire 40GB of existing files post swtich over and if so for how long?

 

I am aware that LRC has an 1TB option, but I am not planning to for the same.

 

Thanks!

I don't know if you can still access all 40GB for a while after you switched, but why take any chances? Export all these images 'as original' to your hard drive (or an external drive). They will be exported with xmp sidecar files if they are raw images, or with metadata embedded if they are other types of images, meaning they will retain their edits. Then make the switch, and import them into Lightroom Classic.
