Hello, wanted to have more understanding / look for options on this issue.
We are encountering that the Files from our Creative Cloud Folder are taking up like 85% of the Storage in the C: Disk, making our storage to get very full super quick. My understanding is these are cloud services, is there any option or configuration for the CC Files to not take that space in the local disk? Kind of like in One Drive some files can be only stored in the cloud and not the actual local disk. I moved to a temporary laptop and many of my CC files can't synch because my storage full. Are there any workarounds? thank you!

Especially for Premiere Pro and After Effects, you need a larger drive or an additional, fast drive.

did you install all your cc apps on a different (from that ssd) hard drive?
if not:
1. uninstall the adobe programs that you want to move (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html)
2. open the cc application, click upper left hamburger menu>file>preferences>apps>and change the install location (to a non-root folder on a local hard drive).
3. install the programs you wanted to move.

Everything is installed in the same hard drive unfortunatelly since I only have that one available for work 😕
So when in my storage shows that Creative Cloud files is taking most of the space, this includes both the programs and any files I have stored in the CC cloud folder?
