Just like with iPhone how do I select the option "Keep originals in this device" in MAC?

I have started iCloud upload in my MAC. Now I want to stop uploading, but when I am doing that, apple says, the photos and videos that are already uploaded will be deleted from this MAC. How do I keep the originals in my MAC just like the option in iPhone called "Keep originals"?

iCloud Photos

Select to allow photos and videos to be uploaded to iCloud and transferred to your other Mac computers and devices where iCloud Photos is turned on and you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.
