Hello,

I work for an organization that does not allow "Cloud-based" software. Is there in option within Photoshop CC in which you can choose not to install the cloud features, or to disable them once installed? We can only have localized software on the machine.

Thanks!

This is not the correct answer. This is only related to cloud storage. Many of Adobe's programs send pieces of your work to AWS, where the image is processed by their servers, and then results sent back to you. And some interactions that users may not be aware of actually cause the image to be stored for review by adobe without explicitly telling you.

I'm not sure most users know that making a selection with the direct select tool is doing that. They may know that generative fill sends data, but content aware fill seems Awfully similar and Doesn't send anything.....I think. Again, you don't Really know. 

I'm trying to figure out a way to enable/disable All creative cloud features that may send data somewhere else when I'm working on something that may be more sensitive, but have them enabled when I'm just doing something for social media, personal work, and something known to be public work. 

I love the direction of some of the new features, but I Don't love that the only way for me to know they aren't working is to shut off internet on my computer entirely.

The given answer is not longer correct. The option to disable cloud syncing has been removed. You can pause it, but not completely disable it.
