Creative Cloud local storage location

Hi there. Im just starting to use premiere pro a lot, and use proxy editing for 4k. I just saw a YouTube video last night about storing the files in Creative Cloud, and using Rush on my iPad.

So when I setup my ingest settings, and I click to store them in the Creative Cloud, does it also store a copy locally? I imagine it does as editing with an online source seems like it would be slow. If it does store them locally Im wondering how I access them to move them, trash them, etc. I just can't grasp where it stores them. I keep all of my source files on an external RAID drive, and need to know if the proxy files, while small, will be filling up my internal drive.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

    On Windows, there should be a "Creative Cloud Files" folder right under X:/Users/<USERNAME>  (X is your hard drive).
    On Mac, it's located under Mac HD/User/<user> .

    Thank you for the quick response! So now that I know they are all stored locally, when I am done with the project Id like to trash the files off my local drive (unless I can have the local storage be on my raid drive). I assume if in the future I wanted to modify the project I can just recreate proxies?
