How to disable iCloud Drive on Mac from another device?

Is it possible to disable iCloud Drive from a device remotely from another device? If for example, I leave my MacBook Pro somewhere where I can't get to it for a time, can I disable iCloud Drive on that MacBook Pro from my iPhone or iPad?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

It has to be disabled in System Preferences/iCloud on the computer. There are some apps that will allow you to access your computer from a device.
