iCloud for Windows - keep no file on disk

I would like to save some files from my Windows device in the iCloud via iCloud for Windows. However, the files should not use any disk space on my Windows pc - thus - should only be saved in the iCloud. I can see the entry in the context menu "Always keep on this device". Where is the "Never keep on this device" button? Or, how can I at least achieve a similar behavior?
