That is why I am still with LR6. I don't object to the price of renting your software, but to the idea that you have lost control and will end up wherever Adobe wants you to end up, which I fear will be play on the cloud or don't play at all.

You can still use LR Classic with your own hard drives and local storage. That's what I do. LR Classic offers more features and choices than the cloud-based regular LR. I have no intention of switching.
