Creative Cloud Sync Question

[matthewr58346897]

Hello,

Sort of new to the creative cloud and have a question that I am curious about.

In my desktop app, under preferences I have the creative cloud sync box unchecked/turned off. However, my photos are still syncing between all my lightroom applications, cc, mobile, and classic. The files are also NOT stored in my creative cloud folder on the desktop, nor are they in the cloud library when I log into the adobe website. I actually like how this is working. I am just hoping to understand it a bit better, as I am a bit confused. How can creative cloud sync be off, but all photos still syncing to lightroom and actual creative cloud storage space is being used but no files in the creative cloud folder?

Lightroom uses it's "own" space in the cloud. Syncing CC files is only for standard files that you put in a special directory and where CC takes care to upload them to the cloud.
