There is no requirement to use some kind of cloud storage. You can use the programs like you always have. Most designers sync with tools like Dropbox anyway, so large uploads aren't uncommon already.
Using dropbox is different than working on something live. Like if I want to work on something right now, there is no way in hell I am waiting even 5 minutes for it upload. That's a total motivation and productivity killer right there. Total fail. Not to mention network connectivity issues, etc, etc.
Then don't save to the cloud. I don't think CC is forcing anyone to use Cloud Save.
