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)

    @Johan_Elzenga you are absolutely right! I was being dumb, definite user error on my part. Had to designate a new file output location! Thanks!

    Adobe cannot 'fix this issue', because it is most likely something on your computer. Something is blocking Lightroom from connecting.

    On the desktop version of Lightroom CC, I cannot access my photos due to the cloud saying it is "unable to connect to the internet". I have no antivirus or firewall and this is relatively new. I can see all pictures on my mobile devices and the web client. Please fix this issue. I am running Mac OS 11.5.2 and lightroom CC Ver 4.3.
