Include the option to disable all facets of Creative Cloud Sync, most especially the folder.
Truth be told, I hardly want any of this application wasitng memory and CPU cycles on my computer whenever I am not running an adobe product, and yet, despite disabling as many adobe applications from starting up in the task manager and task scheduler, the tenacious Adobe finds a way to blast their presence tenfold in my task manager by spawning a multitude of different random proceces, as well as as CONTINUING TO ADD THE EMPTY, DISABLE CREATIVE-CLOUD SYNC FOLDER I HAVE GONE OUT OF MY WAY TO REMOVE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE.
I want none of it, I really do. But the least I will demand is that there at leat be a way to let me never see that folder on my explorer again.
For those who would like to know how to be rid of the folder for at least one moment, they can navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace in the registry editor and delete the folder/key which has "Creative Cloud" in one of the values.

YES PLEASE!
If I want cloud sync I install it. This shyte needs to go die in a fire yesterday. That you can not uninstall this is unacceptable too. I do not need it, I do not want it and I certainly do not appreciate 10+ utterly useless and (adobe typical) unoptimized processes leeching processing power.By the way, for anyone as annoyed by this adware as me:
You can disable the services in windows control panel (just set all adobe services to manual, and disable any autostart) without this having any negative effect on the rest of the suite. even updates still are notified normally the system just does not start that useless bloatware during bootup and annoys you every 2 seconds.
While still not the optimal solution - which would be not having the creative cloud installed at all - this at least relegates that pile of steaming ... code ... to a bunch of files collecting virtual dust on your drive. -

I totally agree, I never use this app, never requested to download it and it has slowed down my computer and ran the CPU to overheat point.
