How to store iCloud Photo Library only in the cloud My iCloud Photo Library is 16GB. Because the drive in my Mac is only 128GB I don't want all my photos to be stored locally on my Mac but rather just load the photos when I open the Photos app.

Any idea how to do this?
If you don't want any of your iCloud pictures on your computer.

Go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If you click on the Options button in the category, you can turn off single parts of iCloud and keep others on.

Photo has it on > You deselect it obviously
