Syncing files on only one device

[Scott G CRC]

I have Creative Cloud installed on two MacBooks. One has limited storage space, so I would like to disable file syncing on it, but keep it active on the other one. It appears that every time I restart, the CC app defaults to sync mode, devouring every megabyte of storage on my "smaller" backup Mac. Is there a way to disable the syncing on only that computer and still be able to use the applications?

in your smaller computer's cc desktop app, click file > preferences > syncing and stop syncing by pausing it.
