I was wondering how much the new cloud-based Lightroom CC would take available disk space when using it as a native macOS app interface to my Synced Collections in LR CC 2015 but couldn't find any details about it.
So last night I installed new LR CC to my Late 2013 MBP 13" Retina with a 256 GB SSD, in LR CC app preferences changed Local Storage > Storage Strategy for Target Available Disk Space Usage to 5 % and let it sync. This morning I'm now seeing this warning message:
My photos on new LR CC (synced photos in LR CC 2015):
What I'd like new LR CC to be (for now) is a macOS native app interface to my Synced Collections and photos so that I don't need to attach my external SSD drive just to be able to browse my synced photos (and I don't have to have an internet connection as browsing via LR Web would need).
