Lightroom Classic Online Catalogs
I work as a photographer, I was thinking of buying an external harddisk for storing my photo catalog, which has become big.
As an alternative, however, I was considering to rely on an online storage service, like google drive or one drive, which are safer and more practical. I was wondering if it was possible to access one of these services directly from lightroom, if there is a compatibility in this sense, to be able to work the files from a catalog put online without having to have the files locally on the PC or on a connected harddisk.
But why Adobe doesn't have his own storage cloud, compatible with the suite? I think this could be a great idea for the future of the adobe suite.

You also have to make sure that any LR temporary files don’t get synced to the cloud service And that your catalog is closed and updated before you use other devices that share the cloud service sync

There is only one service I know of that works how you want it to... sort of. Box drive. https://www.box.com/drive
It has a folder location that uploads to the cloud, then erases from your drive but leaves a kind of ghost file behind. It re-downloads the file on-demand. Works great for small stuff, but if you have 500mb or 2gb PSD files it can take a long time to "open" because you are downloading it from the cloud first.
