turn off cloud storage

For Adobe Acrobat DC, single license version, is it possible to completely turn off cloud storage?  This includes completely turning off even temporary storage of my own files on the cloud?

I read an online document (from a non-Adobe website),

    Acrobat DC Disclaimer for Government Customers

that pertained to government customers (which I am not).  This Disclaimer referred to a "Customization Wizard" which could be used to disable particular services, or all services.  Is such a setup "wizard" available to subscribers of the single license version of Adobe Acrobat DC?

This Disclaimer also said an option was to purchase Adobe Acrobat DC Pro and then install the prior version (Acrobat Version 11).  Is this option available for single license users?

I HAVE THE FIX

 

Go to your outlook, go to file, options, then add-ins you will see a box that says "Go..." click on GO and uncheck the adobe Cloud on Outlook option.  That will do the trick

Hard to trust any company or corporaton, you nor they deserve trust. I want to turn cloud storage off, and I should not have to go to each application. How do I do this?

Such an annoying and useless fuinction.  Adobe pretending they know anything about how real people use Acrobat?  Clearly they have no clue.  Worst thing is you can not even control it without editing the regisirty; who thought that up?

Adobe is about as coporate and incompetant as you can get.  They care not for their customers.

Adobe is a very bad software company. I don't want to put my files on your cloud service, but Adobe doesn't have a good solution for us to turn it off. I don't want to use any Adobe products anymore!

i also don't want to use Adobe cloud.. I have enough other places to store files.  Is there still no way to turn it off?  Now regretting having subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Also do not see that app in my list of apps on the pc.. is it only online?

Don't take this personally but you people are all morons.
You seem to enjoy making people angry.
WHO has several hours to try and work out ALL of the replies posted regarding this PROBLEM.
What we want (as of 2021) is OPEN ACROBAT > EDIT > PREFERENCES > GENERAL > UNCHECK UPLOAD TO CLOUD.
Perhaps this is TOO simple for you people but ALL you seem to do with major problems is give us the run-around and have some new chai-waller give us answers that have been given 100 times before. You should all be politicians.
ANOTHER PROBLEM since 2017 is the ADOBE AI POP UP (Catch up with what is new in Illustrator) >> OVER 4 years people have complained about this annoying feature.
REALLY STUPID PEOPLE.
