P: Allow Mobile Downloads.lrdata to be moved to another location

Victoria, yes I understand that it's a temporary location but my catalog is organized by year / month. Unless you have a way to automate this, I don't think I want to spend the time moving photos that have been sent from 3 iPads and 2 iPhones into the proper folder locations in my main catalog. I'm not sure what the issue is with simply synchronizing with the existing catalog. Hopefully they can sort it out as once they do, they will start making $10 / month from me and I'm sure there are others as well based on what I'm seeing in this thread. Someone just needs to determine if the cost to fix this issue will be offset by the customers they'll gain after the fact. I imagine it would be as I don't think I'm the only one holding off from buying the package due to this limitation.

+1 for this feature request.

Yep, I wish for that too, but I just wanted to make sure everyone understood you can move them.

Hi Victoria Bampton. Even so that it is a temporary location, the option must be available for the user to change it to a folder of his/her choice.

This issue is starting to grate on my workflow. +1 from me.

Surprised that Adobe didn't anticipate this basic request. Let's hope it doesn't take them a year to react

ppcwp, you do realize it's just a temporary location and you can drag photos from there into any folder or drive of your choice once they've downloaded?

This setup just cost Adobe $10 / month as it prevents me from syncing my mobile photos to my main catalog and also prevents me from moving my mobile photos to my thunderbolt mirrored drives. I only have a small SSD as my main drive where Lightroom is installed and don't want that drive to fill up with my mobile pictures (4 devices). Hopefully this is fixed at some point and I'll be able to sign up for the Adobe Photography Plan at that time. You might want to mention this to your development team as I don't imagine I'm the only one who is holding out from joining your $10 / month plan due to the current implementation of Lightroom Mobile. So they could be losing hundreds if not thousands of dollars per month because of this.

My beautiful file organization is going out the window! I'd like to store all of my mobile Lightroom uploads on a separate drive with the rest of my photos. I love the idea of doing this right from the mobile app, but for the time being I'm going to continue using the SyncMe app to get the photos in the right place, and THEN I will import them into Lightroom.

At this time, there is no sanctioned way to relocate this folder. We are aware of the request, though.
