iCloud: backup or storage?

Can iCloud be used only to backup my Mac, or can it be used to store items that I no longer keep on the Mac (because of shortage of space on the Mac).


In other words, suppose I want to free space on my Mac (eg. photos) but I still want them saved in iCloud. Would deleting them from the Mac trigger their deletion from the cloud?
