Anything in iCloud is also synced to your Mac. You can elect to optimize storage on your Mac which will offload some content to iCloud only. But, if your Mac is say 500GB and you have 1 TB of documents in iCloud, you'll be perpetually syncing and filling your Mac. You may wish to move files to an external hard drive instead and back that up to a second drive using Time Machine.
