Recommended presets

I did plan to switch from Lightroom CC local to cloud based use, to be able to use recommended presets. Then I realised it will upload all my photos to the cloud. I have about 4 Tb photos in my computer and 20 Gb Photography plan. Even switching to 1 Tb plan wouldn't solve the problem even near. Is there a way I could use those recommended presets? I'm afraid I couldn't possibly afford to buy 5 Tb extra storage, allthough I don't know how much that would cost.

Correct answer JohanElzenga

I believe that 'recommended presets' are presets that are suggested based on the analysis of the image. As that analysis takes place in the cloud, not on your machine, this only works in the cloud. That does not mean however that you are forced to store all your images in the cloud. You could select just a few images where you feel you would really like to see what presets would be recommended, and only upload those images.

Lightroom v8.3 used in 'Local' mode works with all my presets. Why do you suggest they are not available.

If I try to look under "Recommended presets" it says those are possible to use only in cloud mode. I have believed that. All my presets are available, but those aren't.
