P: Ability to disable Cloud-Sync

 I am also living on external drives and have limited data plan in my country (around 50gb/month). Not everyone is privileged with unlimited data access, and some people simply dont want their files up there. Adobe, please, start listening to users.

I support the option of disabling Creative Cloud as I have had numerous problems, even with large bandwith access.

Would like the option to disable Creative Cloud syncing. Living somewhere with upload speeds of around 0.2-0.5mbps, it’s fairly useless. Since iPadOS13, I keep everything on USB sticks/SD cards/external HDD. Since I’ve started using Photoshop for iPad, Creative Cloud has never really worked properly for me anyway.

Photoshop mobile: please allow us the choice to disable automatically saving to the cloud. Many of us work for clients whose work must absolutely remain confidential. Automatically putting my work on the cloud automatically negates me using this app. Give us a choice, please.

I cant use Photoshop on iPad because it eats up my limited wifi data plan VERY quickly.

 This is easily to resolve: Fully integrate Apples file manager. User now can do what ever they want with their files. They can integrate a local NAS f.e.. The Adobe-Cloud is useless with 20 GB (Foto): 

Perhaps we’ll hear from Adobe on this. At present, however, the thing that you don’t want—your full-res images in the cloud—is central to the way PS for Mobile works. Many users have said that they are editing images of 100GB or more. IPad can’t hold many files of that size, and PS for Mobile would grind to a halt when loading such large files. That’s why the full image is in the cloud and much smaller representations (smart previews) are on the iPad.

I do not want files synced to the cloud unless I explicitly request to do so. Please allow us to turn off cloud sync in Photoshop on the iPad. It will significantly limit my ability to use it until this is resolved.

I dig your problem, but as mentioned above, I don’t think that PS for Mobile is moving your gigabits at all after they are in the Document cloud, but only a Smart Preview, and moving a few kb of mathematical algorithms to apply to the”real” file in the Document cloud when an edit is applied in PS for Mobile—just as occurs in Lr mobile. The real problem, as I see it, is the high cost of cloud storage. I wouldn’t care to speculate whether PS for Mobile will ever be able to handle a non-typical case such as yours, but it is safe to say that both IPad Pro and PS for Mobile are going to gain in capability as time passes. For now, a lot of people are talking about their frustrations, and we’ll soon enough know whether Adobe is listening.
