iCloud syncing?

So a little complicated. I have an iphone XS, a personal macbook pro laptop, and a mac computer on my desk at work. Last night I was adding stuff to my icloud on my personal laptop and this morning it was also on my work computer. I want to stay logged into my apple ID on my work computer because I still want my text messages to come up on my screen.. but I don't want my personal stuff downloading onto my work computer. Not that its anything bad but its just more stuff to have to work around. And I can't delete it off of the work computer or it will delete on my personal computer.


So I guess my question is.. is there still a way for me to get my texts and stuff on my work computer without my icloud drive being uploaded to it?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Turn off iCloud Drive in that Mac’s iCloud settings. Messages in iCloud and other features don’t need iCloud Drive enabled.
