P: Lightroom Desktop Keeps saying 'Unable to Connect to Network'

Trying to switch to Lightroom CC but I keep getting 'Unable to Connect to Network' in sync status. If I restart the application it might work for 50-60 photos and then returns to this error message. I'm trying to sync ~12K mobile photos before another 40K RAW images so obviously need to be able to let this run in the background and over night. Have tried restarting the computer as well to no luck.

Any other suggestions on what I can try?

Setup 

  • Home computer
  • Windows 10 Desktop
  • Wifi Connection (verified internet is working)
  • Selected option to store original files on a NAS (synology, used a mapped drive)

How long should we be patient? I can answer just for myself, but this issues is there from the first day since 7 to 8 months. Sorry for this question, but how slow is the adobe bug fixing team? From my point of view there haven't been collected enough logs otherwise there should be solution available already!

Thanks to you all for the offers. We've collected logs from several users. If we need more, we will come back to you. 

Thank you for your patience.

Same! I've never used a NAS, but have originals on a external USB drive attached to a Mac

Yeah I've never been asked to send logs, surely logs from as many users as possible would help identify a common element?

Or send logs?  Or something? Because I can reproduce it at will: It happens 100% of the time. 
Please tell me where to send logs if it would help.

Can we do a screen sharing session together or with one of your developers? The call center from India couldn’t really help. The “standard process” delete library and redownload library from cloud doesn’t work with local storage on NAS. She also tried some settings, but the settings didn’t help. It wasn’t really technical settings. A very technical support would be helpful!

Actually the problem is that we cannot reproduce the issue. We've opened a bug for investigation and all of the information on this forum post is feeding into that bug. 

There must be some subtle nuance that makes some hit this while most do not. We are trying to figure out what that is. We continue to investigate. 

Thank you for your patience.

It's crazy that Adobe doesn't want or isn't able to fix this issue. I saw only the solution to use iSCSI network volumes. But I haven't tried it yet.
