Collection synching / Lightroom Mobile is a great addition to Lightroom 5.4. Please extend this functionality to Smart Collections as well.

wow three years ago this topic and it's not resolve yet! We need smart collections. I think a work around would be that all images  that are sync stay for some time  in the (all sync images) even if you change the condition that made that particular image to be in a smartcollection. So if you are working on the mobile version and un unpick the flag, the fotos is not any more in the smart collection, but this is not directly inked to the sync. then in the configuration one could choose for how long keep sync images that are not in a specific collection(orphan fotos lets say) these would exist only in a global all sync photos, but not inside any smart or normal synced collection.

Totally agree.  Wrong or right, my photos are separated by smart collections in my catalog.  Thus it would be very beneficial to sync smart collections. Why doesn't adobe Lightroom include this feature?  The lack of smart collections not syncing is very frustrating.

Why is this still not resolved? Is anyone at Adobe reading this? It seems not that complicated to fix and would be very useful functionality to the Lightroom ecosystem

I totally agree. What kind of lazy ass reason do they have for not making smart collections syncable?

Smart collections are far more useful than regular ones. I agree this should have been on Lr CC from day one.

for me it would be a great advantage to have a synchronization since most of my collection are "smart" due to locations, dates, tags, ...
and why can a company like Adobe not solve what a plugin can?

Not having Smart Collections in LR CC is a huge step backwards. How on Earth did Adobe decide this functionality was not worthy of inclusion from day one of CC? Please ge this fixed as a priority!
