Huge thanks to both of you for a great conversation. I have searched long and far on the internet to find out this information. It is sad how poorly documented the CC system is from Adobe. Plenty of great intro videos on how to log in but there's no information I can find that includes this information. The idea of deleting 'original' on Lightroom CC was terrifying since I thought I'd lose my originals in Classic CC. Here is a question for you Jim - I want Lightroom to work one way for syncing - I want to shoot on my iPhone, have it imported into Classic CC and be stored there so I can eventually save it on my Drobo and then it gets uploaded to Smugmug for cloud backup. Right now it works ok - I shoot with my iPhone, it auto imports to iOS Lightroom CC, then lands up in my Classic CC library in a separate folder noted under iPhone Imports. At this point I can delete those iPhone photos from Lightroom CC and not have it tie up part of the 20GB of cloud storage. I save photos in a year/month/day format in Classic CC. At this point I have to then take photos that are synced and saved under the iPhone Import folder and manually move them to the proper folder. Not bad but a bit time consuming. I recently found under the Classic CC Preferences/Lightroom Sync that you can specify a date based folder system - I thought my prayers were answered....but it makes it more complicated. I have selected Pictures/2018 as the location in Classic CC. As I shoot on my iPhone it works perfectly and syncs the photos with Classic CC, makes the appropriate folder. The part where it falls apart is that when I import my DSLR photos into Classic CC, (directly from a memory card and not using any cloud) it imports into Pictures/2018/YYYY-MM-DD as well but now Lightroom CC uploads these photos up to the cloud...I just want it to work one way! I don't want my DSLR files uploaded! Any ideas? Thanks, Jason
