P: Ability to sync Lightroom Classic keywords with the Lightroom Ecosystem

Keywords do not sync correctly: When added on the mobile app (iOS), they do not appear in LR classic and not in LR Web (I deleted the new LR CC immediately, this version does not make sense to me).
Same problem into the other direction: Keywords from LR classic do not appear on the mobile app. 
Attention: At this stage the whole keywording within the iOS app should not be used!

The fact that there is an answer from Adobe doesn't change the fact that it is a complete pain for people who want to use both products!

Have a look at the answers at the beginning of this thread, Adobe reps explain why it's set up like this.

Why don't keywords replicate properly between classic and mobile? If I change or add keywords after images have been synced the alterations don't replicate.

I do struggle with the attempt to be able to sort, edit, keyword all my pictures on more than one Laptop. I like Lightroom Classic, especially since the speed dramatically increased.

Now I thought, it would be a good option to have the "main" editing and stuff on my laptop and sync with my second laptop and even my smartphone using the mobile versions. Like all the others, I struggled with keywords the most.

I do not understand why keyword syncing is not possible. And if so, why is it not possible to collaborate on two Laptops with Lightroom classic on one catalog?

In my opinion, Adobe's mentality is ten or twenty years behind the state-of-the-art with regards to cloud functions, syncing and customer care.

Can someone recommend a lightroom alternative, which can be used synchronously on two laptops? I could store the catalog on a performant network drive. Ideally, the lightroom catalog should be imported into the new software. Ideally, the new software has no such strong vendor lock-in like Adobe.

So, can someone recommend an alternative?

Seems incredible that keywords sync is not posible between LR platforms... Hardly to believe that it`s not technically posible when you can even sync develop settings... Why is that?


Keywords sync between LR platforms is a must !


Please, Adobe, fix this !

?? I do not understand you. At least competitor does not claim to offer cloud, si I’m not hypocrite but realistic. For sure I don’t know you. You don’t know me either 🙂
Sorry this topic is about Sync Keywords between the 2 LR. So about sync : A simple thing Adobe does not offer for segmentation reason. So simple.  I’m sorry for you, it is good sometimes somebody comes and explains some obvious facts. Regards. PS : 
sorry if I use a colloquial term. English is not my mother tongue. Chill...

And yet you suggest looking into competition that does no cloud integration whatsoever. You are a hypocrite at best. And don’t use the colloquial term “mate” addressing me! You don’t know me! And your ramblings are off topic, because this thread is about making the cloud integration better while you don’t believe there will be. So be it, keep your negativity to yourself it’s not helping!

Do not forget it is a 2 years old topic. Just a shame.
Do not forget the cloud integration is actually far from perfect. A good paid beta testing missing what people really wants.
So it is not an off topic. 
it is a reality. Sorry mate.

Can you please take your off topic discussion elsewhere? This is about realising the benefits of the cloud integration!
