Bob, my understanding (which may be a year or two out of date) is that the LR Classic CC (which I use BTW) allows for the Cloud-based storage and synch of selected Collections from within LR. If you are going to a total Cloud-based storage system, then that would be Lightroom CC, not Classic. Which sounds like a wonderful system for those that have uninterrupted access to high speed wifi. For me, traveling in the jungles of Peru or on the high seas without good connections or in the UK or EU without having signed up for a unlimited data plan, it doesn’t make sense. When traveling, even with good connections to the net, I still don’t synch via Adobe’s Cloud platform because with LR Classic CC you can only synch and work on Collections that have been created back home on your desktop or laptop and sent off into the Cloud. Which would be fine if I wanted to have access to older images and review/rate/edit in my spare time. But I don’t. Again note that my understanding may be out-of-date…
